 Czech Republic – Poland 15 – 13 Germany – JTT North 6 – 21
Hungary – Chinese Taipe 5 – 25
The Czech team knew a good start of the tournament, the experienced team beat Poland, both teams compete regularly and know the way each team plays very well.
Germany, a team that has always been good in the past, couldn't compete against the young JTT North players. The jtt north players were better able to read the game. With a final score of 6-21 the German team has a lot to think about.
The Hungarian team couldn't cope with the fast Chinese Taipei. Preparing for the game, the solid Chinese Taipei team already showed that they take this tournament very serious.

To be honest, I’m not the real team captain, but I’m the first ‘replacement’. Our female team captain cannot be present today, because she is busy with play-off matches, unabling her to be here in Leek. We, the Dutch team, obviously wish her lots of success at these play-offs. Here in Leek we wish to have a real korfball party! This is my first year , playing in the Dutch team. I really love it; it’s no punishment being in such a nice group, to find myself in continuous queues time and again on my way to the training centre in Zeist.
