Congratulations to the South Australian team for their clean sweep
victory in the Oceania Regional Championships. The team outclassed all
their opposition, defeating Canterbury in the Final on Sunday, with a
score something along the lines of 18-6 (I watched it online but can't
recall the final score)..They will bring the Helen Searle Cup to SA in
it's inaugural year.
After sealing that victory, a lot of the State Team players subsequently
represented Australia for the inaugural, annual Bennett/Saunders-Zilm
Trophy Trans Tasman clash.
Australia had too much class for the New Zealanders and easily ran out
the game winning with a similar margin to the earlier final..
When I get the official scores they will be posted to all club websites..
Upcoming Internationals for Australia this year include the Commonwealth
and Friends Championships, to be held in Pretoria, South Africa, June
30-July 6, (Korfball Australia is seeking expressions of interest from

and the Youth World Championships, to be held in Taipei, Chinese Taipei,
