Rogues Go Outdoors
The sun is out, the evenings are getting later and, crucially, it's exam season at Walton High...
The upshot of this is that we now train outdoors. Still at Walton High, still on a Tuesday, but now down on the field and we can start at 7:30pm. If you can't make this earlier time, you are welcome to arrive any time up until 8:15pm, but you'll obviously miss some stuff! We have the pitch until 9:30pm, but we might finish more like 9:15pm if it gets too dark...
We have a really nice pitch marked out on the field- all the lines painted on beautifully with the penalty areas and everything. It's quite hard to contain my joy about it.
So come along and play some korf outside on a pleasant Tuesday evening, and then head across the road to the pub with us for a bit.

Cameron Helps England to 4th Spot at the U16 World Cup
MKX player Cameron played for England at the U16 World Cup 20th/21st March 2010 in Eindhoven.
The young team eventually finished a creditable 4th place with some strong perfomances, but unfortunately some narrow defeats.
England beat Russia (8-6) and South Africa (10-6) before a narrow loss to Chinese Taipei (14-11) but finished top of their group before moving to the play off pol. Here England beat Catalonia (12-9)before a one goal loss to Taipei again and finally a golden goal loss to Russia left them 4th.
Cameron had limited court time but did score against South Africa and learned loads and enjoyed himself greatly. Cameron also played and scored in a warm up friendly v South Africa on 18th and in a match v one of the Dutch regional sides on 19th March.
Cameron has been playing korfball for little more than two years and is now travelling the world with England. MKX team mate Chelsie Brown has also played with England this season. The possibility is there for other young, talented MKX players.
We now run U11 and U16 teams that train every Thursday at Courtside, MK College in Bletchley. If you start now, maybe you could play for England too!
