The playoffs have now taken place for entry to the English Korfball Association National League First Division 2007/8.
West London Wildcats (from the London and District KA) and Bearsted (from the Kent KA) have made it through the playoffs to the First Division of the EKA National League.
West London Wildcats first took on Bearstead in April, at Royal Russell School in Croydon, a match they won comfortably.
Bearsted then played Norwich City (who finished last in the First Division this season) on May 19th. The match was extremely close, with Bearsted scoring in the final seconds of normal time to force golden goal extra time. Bearsted then went on to again score in the last seconds of the golden goal extra time to win 13-12 and secure their place.
Congratulations to both West London Wildcats and Bearsted. Commiserations to Norwich City, who will return to their local league for the forthcoming season.
The provisional fixtures for the new season will be announced within the next month.
