By Tim McLoughlin Supernova 2 began their 2016-2017 league campaign with a scrappy 9-7 away win over newly relegated Mitcham 1. With a largely new squad consisting of individuals who have rarely played together in competitive matches and the absence of a korfball to warm up with, Supernova 2 struggled to find their attacking momentum […]
Match Report: WIN Supernova 4 (8-6) Mitcham 2
By Mark Paxton The fourths headed to Ernest Bevin for the first match of the season against Mitcham 2. Our ball delivery man was a little late in arriving so our warm-up included lots of chat and a bit of 4-0 with an imaginary ball…. Mitcham started the game with only three boys so, with […]

Supernova celebrates it’s 20th Anniversary!
Last Saturday saw 74 Novans from the past three decades, don their bow ties and cocktail dresses to celebrate 20 years as central London’s korfball club! The party was held at Rocket restaurant near Bank and was themed as a ‘County Fair’ with some fairground amusements, expertly created by the organising committee. We had a drinks reception followed by a three […]

Match Report: LOSS Supernova 4 (5-6) Trojans 3
By Mark Paxton The wheels had come off the fourth team’s rollercoaster recently, so they were looking to get back on track with a match at home to Trojans 3. The Trojans team were a mixture of experienced players and some promising youngsters, meaning it was likely to be an exciting game. After a slow start, Trojans took an […]
Match Report: LOSS Supernova 2 (11-5) Bromley 1
By Harry Low When Supernova’s second team loses, they usually do so twice in a row. Indeed the first time they were defeated this season – in November, ironically by Sunday’s opponents Bromley – they lost again the next week. And so it proved on Valentine’s Day 2016. A quiet first 10 minutes were reported […]
Match Report: LOSS Supernova 2 vs Highbury 2
By Harry Low If Supernova’s second half performance the week before was sensational, this one was woeful, as they went down 14-8 to Highbury at Petchey Academy. The day had started off well enough, as the team watched Supernova win the battle of the third teams in the derby day’s first clash. And at half […]
Match Report: WIN Supernova 2 (16-10) Croydon Swans
By Harry Low Supernova recovered from being behind at half time to return to winning ways with a scintillating second half performance as they beat Croydon Swans 16-10. Ross opened the scoring to put the visitors in front before Croydon equalised, something they would do on five occasions throughout the first half. Jo made it […]
Match Report: WIN Supernova 2 (11-8) Croydon Swans
By Harry Low Supernova started 2016 with a hard-fought win as they defeated Croydon Swans 11-8 at Millwall. I would love to credit the first goal to Jenny McG but, given there was one on the court and one on the side, we’ll say the new Jenny opened the scoring (more on the less new […]
