context_page_description: Established in August 2003, Highbury Korfball Club is based in North London, England and is a member of the England Korfball Association. Highbury Korfball Club succeeded Arsenal Korfball Club, which was established by Hugh Barker in 1998. Rebranding occurred to avoid unwanted attention from curious football fans.
  With five teams, HKC competes across a range from highly competitive to highly social indoor Korfball leagues, generally in the London area during the winter months. During the summer, Highbury competes at many standards in tournaments held over weekends throughout the UK. HKC has also made trips to the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Hungary, Portugal, Slovakia and most recently France to play in tournaments abroad against local teams and those from further afield. The summer tournaments are often but not always played outdoors.
context_section_description: Ben Hale took over as Chairman for the season. Martin Petrie (of Supernova) provided coaching for the first and second teams with Moses Hutchinson-Pascal acting as third team and development coach.
  Highbury 3 struggled in LKA2, however did well to finish outside of the relegation places, but the decision was made to volunteer to drop a division to give the players a better chance to develop against similarly skilled players.
  Highbury 2 again finished mid table but 4th place was an improvement on the prior season. Rachel Dixon also topped the Girls Scoring chart with 30 goals in the season.
  Highbury 1 finished fourth in the LRL and qualified for the Champions Trophy as the three teams above them already had teams in the National League. Julia Hall finished top of the Scoring chart for the girls with 31 fine goals in her final full season at Highbury before moving back to New Zealand at the end of 2012.
  At the Champions Trophy, Highbury competed against the best teams around the country and came a respectful 4th place with wins over Manchester Warriors and Bristol City.
