In the first matches of November, the 1st team made the long trip to Croydon to take on hosts Trojans 2 and Cambridge City 1 win the EKA Cup, but unfortunately lost both games, 12-6 and 17-3 respectively.
The 2nd team however came out on top in the latest OKA game against Reading 9-5, with some strong defence holding off long Reading attacks until the goals eventually started to drop! One division was in defence for one very very long spell spanning either side of half-time, and it looked like there was finally going to be a changearound when we earned a penalty, but it looked like Toby missed it! Fortunately a Reading player had encroached and the ball dropped in (just!) second time round
The team and scorers were: Adam 2, Natasha 2, Katie 1, Jon P (sub Paul D 1st half); Toby 2, Kat 2, James Steward (sub Jordan 2nd half), Kirsty |

The games have been coming thick and fast and here is what's been going on!
Firstly, the 1st team played two friendlies against Highbury on 18th October, beating Highbury 2 but losing narrowly to Highbury 1. One comedic point to recall was Natasha’s pass flung goal bound accompanied by the shout “that’s a pass not a shot” which dropped smartly in the goal
Back in MK, the 3rd team opened their League SMKA campaign with wins over Walton Rogues and MK Colossus, with debuts all round from Sam, Terri and Stephanie.
The Match against Rogues provided a good warm up game for all and a 14-1 win. Rogues were fit and mobile, but unable to obtain any good offensive positions due to a formidable defence. It was a shame more MK blokes were unable to play due to various reasons but Pete stepped in to play his first game in MK colours scoring two hatricks and developing his shot very well. The second match against Colossus started with Toby letting in a goal, but he and everyone else rallied round to win 10vs5. Goals a plenty all round. Stephanie and Sam both got a goal each and Terri scored two running ins.
Total scorers - vs Rogues:
James Sloan (3 goals), Mary (3 goals), Monique (2 goals), Paul W (2 goals), Pete (2 goals), Terri (1 goal), Toby (1 goal)
vs Colossus:
Katie (3 goals), Mary (1 goal), Pete (3 goals), Sam (2 goals), Toby (1 goal)
Then, on 25th October, Bucks 2 bt Isis 1 by 13-8 with a strong performance. On the whole a good all round performance by all with some great long shots by Jon P against stong male defence. Thanks to Simon & Kat for helping out & to Toby for reffing the match before!
The team was: Jon P (4), Toby (2), Paul W (1), Simon, Kat (2), Mandy (2), Natasha, Kirsty (2)
And the thirds went marching on with wins over MK Roos 13-2 and Luton Hatters 15-3, with Charlene making her Bucks debut!
Scorers vs Roos:
Adam (4 goals), John (2 goals), Kat (2 goals), Sam (1 goal), Simon (2 goals), Terri (2 goals)
vs Hatters:
James Sloan (3 goals), Kirsty (1 goal), Natasha (4 goals), Nov (4 goals), Simon (2 goals), Terri (1 goal) |

MK Bucks 1 finished third yet again at Korfstock! This time it was Leeds who blocked our way to the final, after a narrow 3-2 semi-final defeat. Earlier in the day, we had recorded big wins over Supernova, Bec 2 and Bristol and a quarter-final win over Reading. However, in the 3rd/4th playoff we finally got to beat John and Ali's Men in Black after a 3-3 draw. The last minute Men in Black penalty equaliser didn't put us off as then we won the sudden-death penalty shootout on the first penalty with Nov sinking the winning shot.
Bucks 2 were in the toughest morning pool but after losing the first two games, managed a great nail-biting 3-2 win over one of the Edinburgh City teams to avoid dropping into the bottom 4 competition, and ended up finishing 22nd.
There was then much partying and drinking games at the evening party!! |

The club AGM is on Sunday 2nd August at the Red Lion pub on Simpson Road, Bletchley at 2pm.
The draft agenda is as follows:
1. Welcome
2. Apologies
3. Minutes of 2008 AGM Minutes
4. Committee reports
(a) Chairperson’s report
(b) Treasurers report
(c) Secretary’s report
(d) Development Officer’s report
(e) Match Secretary’s report
(f) Social Secretary’s report
(g) Tournament Secretary’s report
5. Election of new Committee
6. Other Business
7. Awards
It has been noted this year that the current Members on the Committee are all getting a bit stale and it has pretty much been the same people year after year that are involved. All of the posts on the Committee are up for grabs (as above at 4(a) - (g)) every year and it would be great to have some new faces and a flow of new ideas at meetings. Being on the Committee is not intimidating, meetings happen roughly once every couple of months and usually only last about 1.5 – 2 hours. Everyone is there to support everyone else so you wouldn’t be dumped in at the deep end.
If you’re interested in being on the Committee then let us know! |

The indoor season is now at an end. For this summer, we are sharing outdoor training with MK City Korfball Club on Mondays (not our usual Thursday) at Loughton Sports and Social Club starting at 7pm. All welcome of both sexes and all levels from absolute beginner upwards - we'll teach you all you need to know!
We have finished another successful season - apologies for lack of recent website updates but I guess the webmaster Katie having a baby is a good enough excuse! The 1st team won the OKA League and Cup again and finishted mid-table in the MRL, and the 2nd and 3rd teams both got through to the OKA Plate final where the 2nds edged it 13-12 on Thursday 28th May in the final match of the season. The 2nds also finished 3rd in OKA Division 1 while the 3rds finished 3rd in OKA Division 2, and our League MK team won the league! |

The 1st team made the longest trip of the season to Norwich on Sunday. With several players being made to work on a Sunday for once, and others injured or unavailable, it gave others the chance to step up to the plate, and we are also very grateful to Matt, Emma, Tom and George (not usually Bucks players!) for coming and playing for us to enable us to field a team, and also to Norwich Knights for allowing us to move our match against them from the Saturday to the Sunday.
Against the odds, we did manage to win one of the matches with a great 13-10 win against Cambridge Phoenix, and also competed well against Norwich Ice and Norwich Knights, although ultimately going down 12-5 in both games.
Teams:
Against Phoenix - Simon (4), Matt (1), Mandy, Kirsty, Emma, Caz (1), James (5), Tom (2)
Against Ice - Simon (1), Matt, Mandy, Kirsty, Emma (1), Caz (2), James (1), Tom
Against Knights - Simon (1), Matt, Mandy, Kirsty (3), Emma (1), Caz, James, George
We were back in action the following night, with a friendly against MK Colossus, where two players (Lucy and Anna) made their debuts (with Lucy scoring a penalty), along with Lucy on her second match and Stef on her third! Although we ultimately lost 8-2, much of the match was very close, with the score 3-2 at half-time and three of the opposition goals coming in the last 5 minutes.
Team: Lucy Wood (1), Anna, Stefanie, Lucy Wade, Steve (1), Clive, Paul D, Toby |
