IKF EKC R1 West & East 2016: Day 2 (Saturday) Review & results

June 4, 2016/0 Comments/in Europe, Korfball News /by Dani Ezpeleta

Intense second day of IKF EKC R1 West 2016 qualification tournament in Saint Etienne. A lot happened; sometimes could have been written for a Alfred Hitchcock’s movie.

A thrilling first match between Turkey and Ireland. At a score of 6-2 in favour of Turkey one of the shot clocks gave problems. Because of this there was a “technical time out” of about 15 minutes. Kees Verhoeven used this for focussing his Irish team. On the other hand the Turkish team struggled to get back to the level they had before. Ireland came in the lead with two goals, but in the last minute with just 30 seconds on the clock the Turkish team equalised the score. Ireland won the toss for the Golden Goal, but the first ball was lost unfortunately, the Turkish team scored directly after that, so Turkey won, 10-9 GG.
Compliments for the local organisation for organising a working spare set of shot clock very soon.

France beat Sweden by 17-4. Again Catalonia showed their supremacy in a match against the Wales squad; unless their working till the last minute, 15-5.

The second part of the day was decisive for the top and the others. In their fourth match against Ireland, Sweden enjoyed the moment they were in the lead in this game (1-0), but after that it was Ireland making the difference. Ireland won, 8-17.

Turkey qualified for the final round of IKF European Korfball Championship 2016 (October, The Netherlands) in a match with two hard working teams, both searching for an effective attack. Unfortunately this searching was for both teams not very successful, therefore a low score at the end, 4-11. But enough for Turkey to qualify.

Catalonia, the team with best play shown till now: attractive, stable and fast ball play had to defeat France, this evening again supported by a large and enthusiastic audience. The French players showed their perseverance, but that was not enough to beat Catalonia. With their victory of 4-18 Catalonia gained qualification for the final round of IKF EKC 2016

Because of this in the first two matches of tomorrow will be decided the ranking for the places three till six. In the last match Catalonia and Turkey will battle for the first position in the ranking of this qualification competition.

Ranking after four matches (of five)
Catalonia 4-12
Turkey 4-11
France 4-6
Ireland 4-4
Wales 4-3
Sweden 4-0

On the other hand, these are the results in IKF EKC R1 in Nitra, where the other teams also competed to qualify for the final round of IKF EKC 2016 in October.
