Matchday, to show what we are up to (day 8)

Finally, after months of preparation and weeks of training, a couple of days practise with the team and 24 hours of Hsinchu time, Sunday 26 July 2015 the Philippine korfball team played their first match. Oponent Hong Kong, venue Howad Stadium.

Players of course were very exited to be able to show their skills. The staff probably was more focussed on a good result. The warming-up, the team chat, the line-up and of course the referee who started at 3.20 pm local time the maiden game of this young squad.

First attaks were nervously finished by defended shots but once the team lost their final bits of pressure, they started to score.

 It was player number 10 Jae Keenan Yap who scored the first official goal. To be followed by nine more this match. Hopefully the coming years the team will score more and more and focus as well on the defence. hong Kong won the first match on this tournement by 36-10. Captain Jef Denzell Go was top scorer with 5 goals.
