With the recent developments and announcements from Victoria regarding COVID-19, and in line with established Korfball Australia policy, it has become clear that it is no longer a possibility to hold the currently scheduled National Club Championships, and as such, the tournament has unfortunately been postponed again.

Not only would we not have this sport if not for the equal role women play in Korfball, both in an on-court role and participation numbers, the sport in Australia is indebted to several women in particular, [...]
