It wasn’t meant to happen quite so early in the season, but with the L2s struggling for numbers, we took the plunge and put no fewer than four members of the girls’ development squad into the team to play the season’s opener, against reigning Midland 1 champions Madras. Fair to say that the coaches were … Read more
The annual Dunfermline City preseason tournament took place on Sunday and we sent a mixed a ability team down to try their luck against a host of other local sides. It’s fair to say that we came second quite a lot, but for a team fielding several people who had only been playing for since … Read more
Congratulations to Rachel Leslie, who has been selected for the Midlands District U16 training squad. There were another four former Kobras spread across the U16 and U18 squads.
One of the joys of the club having its own pitch is the opportunity for people to quietly pass on knowledge to others. So on Wednesday we had one of the ladies teaching one of the girls’ development squad how to drag flick. It’s going to be an awesome season.

There was hockey skittles, hockey bowling, hockey croquet, target shooting … Read more

It’s well worth turning up for on the whole. Not this time though. The U10s got away with … Read more

Last night the Korinthians marked the end of their season with the annual match against the L2s (although there appeared to be quite a few players who resembled Ladies 1s players involved!) As ever, the Korinthian spirit was nowhere to be seen, and it was another hard-fought encounter with the Ladies losing out to a … Read more
Lots of fun down at KAS tonight, as we welcomed Scotland international player Gavin Byers, who was running a drag flicking workshop for a select bunch of players from around the club. The weather was rotten (almost as bad as my photography), but it’s fair to say that a good time was had by all. Alex … Read more
