On 17 April the Royal Dutch Korfball Association held its annual event in AHOY in Rotterdam. The Lotto Korfball League winner is the national champion 2010. AHOY was fully loaded with nearby 8,000 spectators. The atmosphere was excellent and Koog Zaandijk the deserved winner after a 22-20 victory over Dalto. The Koog Zaandijk title was very special. The club celebrates this year her centennial and this is the biggest sportive success for this club, the team, the coaching staff and all members in 2010.

On 17 and 18 April the English Korfball Association held its annual end-of-season event where the Haven Sports National League title winners were determined, together with its Champions Trophy event which normally determines which teams will be promoted to, and relegated from, the National League.

In the Haven Sports National League semi-finals Trojans beat Nomads and Nottingham beat Mitcham. Nomads clinched third spot by beating Mitcham 14 – 11, a remarkable performance by a team that was promoted from the Regional League at the end of last season. In the final Trojans retained the trophy by beating Nottingham 20 – 14. However, Nottingham’s second place was the highest place ever reached by a team from outside the London/Kent area. This means that Trojans will again play in the IKF Europa Cup next season whilst Nottingham and Nomads have qualified for the IKF Europa Shield.
