Cardiff City Cyclones and Mavericks teams both started their 2012-13 campaigns in the Welsh Korfball League with convincing wins.
Last month, Cardiff City sent a squad to compete at the IKF Europa Cupa Preliminary Rounds.
Victory in the Welsh Korfball League Gala Day meant the Cyclones team qualified for the early season Europa cup preliminary round.
The squad – many of whom were making their debut at international level – travelled to the beautiful Loire region of southern France on Friday following a series of training sessions to ensure they were as prepared as possible.

After a very successful morning of Korfball against Dragons 2, the Cyclones squad refuelled and travelled down the M4 for their regional game against Oxford. The previous weekends demolition of Horfield away gave the squad a lot of confidence going into this new game.
