Stuart Wood (Chairperson)
Stu joined CCKC as a beginner two seasons ago and has not looked back. Plays as a regular in the 2nd team and scored his first goal in style with a long shot against Bristol City (Go Stu!) Stu also picked up ‘Comedy Player of the year’ award 2006/7 many say because of his robotic movements, creating a nickname of ‘Robo – Stu’. A very welcome addition to the club!

Matthew ‘The Hurf’ Hurford (Treasurer)
Matt is a bit of a tart when it comes to the world of Korfball, we are his third club in the Southwest! However, looks like he is with us for the long run having recently filled some big shoes as Treasurer of CCKC. Super-fit Matt gives anyone a good run around on the court and drops some massive long shots when required. ‘Go the Hurf !’’

Kate Brewer (Secretary)
Having played for Bristol City Kate joined at the start of the 2006/7 season and has had a fantastic season playing for the 2nd team and was voted Best Second Team Female Player 2006/7. However, this is not the full story as Kate really flourished when stepping up into the 1st team at the end of the season and more than held her own. Kate will try anything, even sausages dipped in larger, minging!

Max Lloyd
Max, Maximus or Maxwell has completed his second full season playing Korfball for Cardiff City; this year he picked up much deserved ‘Best 2nd Team Male 2006/07 CCKC’ and has taken appearances for the 1st Team in his stride.  Max gives 110% for everything he does whether is be skiing down a mountain; rock climbing or hiking.  He has also hosted a fantastic Cheese and Wine Tasting evening for the whole club!  

Zoe Gabica
Zoe is an all round sports person and started playing korfball 2004/5 season for the first time and was awarded with Best Newcomer 2004/5 season. From having never played korfball she captained the 1st team 2006/7 season and has become a regular in the Welsh Squad gaining her first caps against Greece and Luxembourg at the beginning of the year. Watch out for Zoe, highly competitive and will be not beaten.

Ian O’Sullivan
Ian has gone through a massive transformation having had a mixed season with Cardiff Dragons he came back to the Cardiff City (welcome to the Blue side!) and has been a permanent fixture in the first team this season. Ian’s hard work on court is matched with his efforts on a social front winning the pub golf at the start of the season obviously impressed a few ladies as he picked up ‘Pin up of the Year’ award 2006/7. 

Ramzi Barbir
Ramzi joined Cardiff City Korfball Club in 2005 having played Korfball for Cardiff Uni. Taunton was his first victim scoring a hat-trick on his debut. Since then many teams have seen goals fly in from Ramzi earning him the title of Top EKL League Scorer 2006/7 and 1st Team Male Player of the Year 2006/7 CCKC. Quiet and deadly on court Ramzi is a different animal on the dance floor! ‘Ramzi Ramzi Ramzi…………’

Sandy Booth
Sandy learnt the art of Korfball at Manchester Uni and has been playing at CCKC since moving back to Cardiff. 2nd Team Top Female Scorer 2006/7 season has been helped by her consistent finishing from her deadly running shots. Not just content with developing her korfball skills Sandy is working very hard at her welsh over the last year and it’s nice to hear it being used at the club! Llongyfarchiadiau! Cadwch lan y gwaith caled!
 
Cat ‘Midge’ Crimmins
Where the hell do you start with a write up about Midge! Well here goes! Midge started playing Korfball at Bedford Uni, moving to Cardiff she was a founding member of CCKC and has held two positions within the club as Social Sec and our Ex Chair. On court she had created a reputation not to be messed with and has had an excellent season playing the 1st Team. Recently Midge seems to have taken her reputation to the bar and may I warn you ‘you cannot compete with the girl from the Ystrad!’  

Aidan Dickson
Aidan must be feeling a little gutted having lost the ‘Comedy Player of the Year’ title that he had retained for two years (an achievement which may not be replicated for years to come!) However, as 2nd Team Captain Aidan has stepped up to the mark and in particular his defensive play is some of the best in the club.

Holly Sisley

Holly has many talents on and off the court. On court she has one of the finest long shots in the club, dropping them in from around the half way line is no issue! Off the court Holly has a talent at fancy dress winning ‘Best dressed’ alien at Sandy’s ‘Out of Space party’.

Susan Belfourd
Susan has held the title of Best Female Player since she joined the club and rightly so. She is also the top female goal scorer in ELK league history. As well as being a 1st player Susan is also an International Player representing Wales. Off court Susan likes all sports and in particular is the first female I have ever met who likes Match of the Day!
 
Ceri Jones

Ceri started his Korfball career in 2002 playing for Cardiff Uni. Over the years he has developed into a key player for the 1st team and Wales. It is a pleasure to have the current Welsh Captain playing for CCKC. Tall, athletic and armed with a long shot Ceri has all the assets of a good korfballer.

Kenny Harrison

Kenny sadly has had a massive injury to his knee and is on the road to recovery. We are hoping he will be back at the start on next season to put away some of those monster long shots he can produce.
 

Elen Williams
Elen started playing for CCKC nearly two years ago. She always seems to be the most shocked person when she scores a goal but has seen massive improvement playing for the 2nd team. Elen has also been the kind host of infamous 2nd Team social evening which involves the meanest Chilli you have ever tasted! All she needs to do learn how to cook the rice!

Kat Smith
From the previous player profile of Kat I am pleased to report that she has maintained the killer instinct with her running in shot and still remains one of the deadliest finishers from 5 metres. However, she has mastered other forms of scoring as available on ‘You Tube’ Kat has been recorded scoring a monster long shot against Bristol Uni.  Off the court (no names mentioned) there are some gutted lads in the club as Kat had got engaged and  will be getting  married  next year!

Kate Saunders
Kate Saunders on a Korfball pitch use to be a rare site! However, this season has seen many outings and some very nice goals. Playing for the seconds Kate’s korfball has got better and better. Apart from some nice goals it’s been her work in the collect which has been very impressive. Hopefully we’ll bw seeing even more of Kate after she completes her PhD!

Angela Rehal
As a new recruit Angela had a slightly nervous start to her Korfball career. Being an optician she has a real keen eye for the ball (sorry eye had to!) and the potential to be a great asset to the club. Hopefully with more week day matches booked for next season we will see Angela playing more often.

Vicki Padfield
Joined us at the start of the 2006/7 season and has seen some real development as a second team player. Finally and long over due she is now scoring goals! Hurray! Vicki is off backpacking later this year but we hope she will be back towards the end of the season next year to carry on her korf career.

Pete Christiansen
Pete played in our summer tournament last year and has now been coming regularly for half a season. He has played korfball previously for Cardiff Uni and rumours have it that he taught Ceri when he first started. He has a monster long shot but his speciality has got to be his round the back passes which seems to throw everyone including his own team! A very welcome addition to the Cardiff City.

Elaine Potter
Elaine started her first full season this year and her initial potential has really come to light. Quick around the court many girls complain about how good a defender she is! Her main attack is through running in shots and potentially could be challenging for the deadliest running in shot in the club. Elaine has also brought many smiles on peoples faces with the bonus of cake after training sessions. She has been a very welcome asset to the club!

Terry Matthews
When it comes to Korfball in Cardiff and Wales Terry’s involvement and credentials would take up a whole website on its own so here’s a little run down! Founding member of CCKC, former CCKC Coach, CCKC 1st and 2nd player, Cardiff Uni Coach, Founding member of WKA, WKA Chair, BKA Certificate of Merit 2006, 16 caps for Wales as Coach – Co Coach. More importantly Terry has been playing Korfball since 1996 which puts him into the category of old school!
