We were there...
Stockholm International Netball Tournament - 20-22 August 2010
Attracting netballers from Sweden, Belgium, Switzerland and Denmark, Stockholm's first international mixed summer netball tournament was also a first for Scandinavia. Two days of intensive outdoor play culminated in a fast-paced final, where Copenhagen Netball Club defeated Stockholm Netball Club to take the tournament trophy. The weekend's lively social activities and plenty of netball training, coaching and development rounded out a fantastic event. Thanks to our hosts, Stockholm Netball Club, and all those involved in making the tournament a success. And well done to our Copenhagen netballers!
Denmark vs. The World - Kulturhavn, Islands Brygge, Saturday 7 August 2010
Final score: Denmark 6, The World 5. Congratulations to our winning Danes and thank you to all our players, officials and supporters for helping us give Copenhagen a real taste of netball. The weather was perfect for our outdoor grass court, and social games and goal shooting competitions continued well into the evening.
Netball Rulz - Thursday 29 July 2010
Our beautiful private venue at Holmen provided a scenic view of the canal and Christiania, and was the perfect backdrop for a summer (gas!) BBQ and a novel netball board game. Well done to the winning team - "The Ducks", and a big thank you to our hosts.
Mystery Night BBQ Bash with the Works - Friday 16 July 2010
Making the most of Denmark's brilliant summer, netballers and their guests gathered in Fælledparken for a relaxed evening of socialising and BBQing. Activities ranged from kongespil to football (both Aussie Rules and soccer), to just throwing the frisby around. Thanks to all who participated.
Microsoft Netball Challenge - Sunday 9 May 2010
Featuring fierce competition between teams from some of Copenhagen's internationally minded businesses, this one-day corporate tournament revealed a surprising amount of raw netball talent. After an introductory netball skills workshop, mixed teams battled it out over six games for the championship. Law firm Kromann Reumert narrowly edged out science professionals from Copenhagen University and IT experts from Microsoft Development Centre Copenhagen to take top spot, but there were some impressive displays of speed, determination and athleticism from each of the teams throughout the day. A big thank you to Microsoft Development Centre, Copenhagen for sponsoring the event. Thanks also to many of the Club members who assisted on the day and made sure our new netballers mastered the rules of the game.
Boutique Pub Crawl - Copenhagen Style - Saturday 17 April 2010
Belgian beer and gourmet finger food, an authentic Danish "værtshus", meat pies and a cracker quiz at the Aussie pub, finished off with Irish jigging on the tables with a pint of Guinness in hand... This year's Pub Crawl was a great social event that captured the multi-cultural essence of living in Copenhagen, and made sure we tasted some of the classic beers from here, there and Down Under. The night was made special by the participation of our easygoing netballers and their friends, and the generous hospitality of Den Tatoverede Enke, Sørens Værtshus, The Southern Cross Australian Bar (including quiz-master Mike) and The Dubliner.
Bring a Beer Night - March 2010
A new variation on our "Bring a Friend" nights, it seems that it is in fact easier to bring a beer to netball than a friend. Good to keep the social post-sport social drinks alive. Thank you Damo for an abundance of chips.
Pub Quiz at the Cross - 25 February 2010
A classic pub quiz at the Southern Cross. Unfortunately none of our netballers took home the top prize, but there were some questionable shots and strange antics along the way. An entertaining night!
Traditional Danish Julefrokost
The Club held its first ever Julefrokost on Friday 27 November 2009. Traditional Danish Christmas food and spirits were followed by music, games and entertainment. Thanks to all who joined in for a fun evening, and to Megan O'Connor for organising the event.
Bring a Friend Night - Wednesday 4 November 2009
With new faces from countries like Denmark, the US and Spain, our "Bring a Friend" night brought together men and women from different cultures and very different sporting backgrounds. We ran a basic skills workshop with three stations, followed by some hotly contested games. Thanks to all those who participated and helped our newcomers get a feel for the game.
October Round Robin Competition
Hamlets Hær successfully defended their title in our second mixed Wednesday night competition at Bellahøj. But it was a close fight for the trophy with strong competition from A Team and Copenhagen Mavericks!
Copenhagen Netball Club on Eurosport 2 for the World Netball Series
Between 9-11 October, the world's six best netballing nations faced off in a series of Fast Net games - a condensed and action-packed version of netball. Three of the Manchester-based games were screened on Eurosport 2, with commentary on the games provided by Michael Bryrup from Copenhagen Netball Club. The series winners were New Zealand, with Jamaica in second place.
September Round Robin Competition
Three teams battled it out for four weeks in our first mixed Wednesday night competition at Bellahøj. After some close and exciting games, the eventual winners were Hamlets Hær.
Australia Week at Østerbro Library, September 2009
During the second week of September 2009, Østerbro Library hosted Australia Week. A special display was arranged featuring Australian books, art, culture and... netball.
Netball at Roskilde Festival - 28 June to 1 July 2009
Together with the Australian Embassy, Copenhagen Netball Club put on a display event at Denmark's favourite music festival. Running over several very hot days, the event attracted curious concert-goers (many of whom had never played netball before) and a lot of new faces. Our participants really got into the spirit with social games and goal shooting competitions.
Club Night and Rubik's Cube Party - 26 June 2009
Who says netballers aren't multi-talented? Singing stars and guitar heroes made our colourful first Club Night memorable.
Scandinavian Showdown - 16-17 May 2009
Copenhagen Netball Club took on Stockholm in Scandinavia's first major netball event. Thanks to everyone who helped make the weekend a success!
