Final Score: HS 2 Win 3-1,  21-25, 19-25, 25-12, 17-25 Being two young teams that were closely positioned in the standings, it was no mystery that Scooby Two squad had something to prove this night. This was an opportunity for us to start building a win streak, and start establishing our position in the league. With a strong first set, the team fought closely to bring it home. Once we reached 21 points each, we closed off the set cleanly, leaving nothing up to chance. In the second set we continued with mo... Read more

Game score: H2 Win 3-1 27-25, 25-21, 15-25, 25-13 With a close first set, the team slowly began to gain momentum as our spirits grew higher. We found great success as we improved our communication and played patiently against their team. In the fourth set Scooby two team completely lost its focused. The unity we had in the second set vanished as we all appeared to be playing alone on the court. Despite this, the team had a complete change of heart in the last set. It started poorly with the team being signi... Read more

the last race of this quadruple-header is upon us. This Saturday we had a race at the infamous 'Veste' track in Borne. Races here are well known for the hot race conditions (poor Mr. Warnaar), slippery track and endless after parties in the paddock.   Our opponents are made up of reserve drivers of the race organisation 'Apollo 8'. This organisation was set up to reach the moon, but are still at it, about 55 years later. In order to gain some traction, they adopted a color scheme similar to ours, so it's t... Read more

Location: Middle of Nowhere Date: Last Friday   Outcome: Gents 7 vs. Wevo 70 Heren 2 Result: 0-4 (Yep, they got us)   Overview: Last Friday, our volleyball squad went head-to-head with Wevo 70 Heren 2 in the wilds. The scoreboard might not be our best friend this time—Wevo 70 Heren 2 secured all four sets, posting scores of 25-10, 25-19, 25-7, and 25-13. The first set hit us like a bombardment (25-10), and they kept the pressure on. We tried to regroup in the second set (25-19), but they were relentless... Read more

It is still dark and empty in SC1 when we are about to setup the fields for today's matches. However even though it is dark, there is already a lot of excitement going on, since we have to play against mix 7 today. As indicated by their name, mix 7 has been upping their game quite a bit and has proven to be a worthy opponent during a match, and oh boy... they were.  During the first set, they gave their all and they took it! Our team finally being adjusted to each other (thank you Hilde and Kasia for subbi... Read more

On Saturday, November 4, we played a Saturday match for the first time this season. We knew beforehand that it would be a tough game, as we were up against Eurosped Pollux, the number two at the time. The opponents also knew it would be tough, otherwise, why would you have 4 coaches on the sideline. Nevertheless, we went into the match full of confidence and that paid off in a 1-3 win for Harambee! And which set we lost, well, that was, of course, the infamous third set. Anyway, back to the beginning. When ... Read more

On Friday the 10th of November it was time for a match again, yay! We had to play against HVC Dames 5, who are the number 2 in the ranking. So this promised to be an exciting match! As the hooligans we are, we went with the v.v. Drienerlo van to Den Ham. Of course, we wanted some good pump up music, however, no one had an aux port so no good songs. It was the radio or a CD. As team we thought, lets go old school. Searching for a nice CD, we found out there was only one CD available. We ended up listening to... Read more

Afgelopen vrijdag waren we met dames 3 in het mooie Delden te vinden. De tentamenweek zat er voor iedereen eindelijk op, dus nu kunnen we dan echt uitkijken naar kerst! Voor we met iedereen naar Delden reden (want ja hoor, iedereen kon bij de wedstrijd zijn, echte teamspirit!) hebben we even de schade van de tentamens bij iedereen geïnventariseerd… Die bleek toch wel aanwezig te zijn, waar de een de hele nacht had overgegeven, was de ander nog aan het bijkomen van het tentamen van een uur geleden. We zat... Read more

The keukenprinzesjes played against Vrivo Ladies 4 this week and for the first time this year: everyone was present at the match!! As you can imagine, we were very excited to play our first match with the full team, but we weren't the most excited group present. Maud's parents were by far the most enthusiastic at this game! They didn't only cheer for us during the game, but also cooked us a ****load of macaroni. After the nice macaroni, the only option was to win, right?  Well.... while we started strong, ... Read more

Krekkers HS 1 vs Harambee HS 2   17-25   25-21   25-21   25-18   After a strong start we started to slow down after a strong middle player on the other side as well as frustrations with the arbitration. This game was full of mysteries, like how Henny was mysteriously awarded two red cards 😱. Among other things, the game continued to be fairly close despite our low spirits. We are hopeful that we can soon get back on that winning train once again. We hope to give you a good display this Friday at... Read more
