Supernova are central London’s korfball club. We have over 60 active members across five teams competing in indoor league competitions.
We’re a friendly and sociable bunch, who will never be far from the nearest pub! Meet some of our players here.
Our History
It was the summer of 1996 when a throwaway comment ignited a spark of an idea for a group of korfers to break away from their roots at Vultrix KC and form their own club.
Within the space of 2 months, we had a name, a committee, club colours, borrowed equipment, a hall to play in, and had even secured a coach. Oh, and a pretty awful interim tie-dyed club shirt. Supernova Korfball Club was born and the first AGM took place on Sunday 4th August 1996.
The first Supernova team in 1996
The club grew quickly and enjoyed success pretty much from the beginning. The first team won promotion to the National League in its first season and, bolstered by the arrival of University of London players, the second and third teams followed this up with a number of local league wins and promotions.
Supernova has participated in numerous tournaments (and won quite a few!), sampled numerous beers and wines, spawned numerous marriages, and ruined many karaoke songs! Supernova celebrated 25 years as central London’s korfball club in 2021.
