Today was our first match together! We played against Rivo in riijjjjjjssseeeeen and it was not long rijssen, just a half hour with the car (we are so happy with our amazing teammembers who have a car) After taking this party ride we arrived at the sport hall (halletje) in Rijssen. Putting on those competition shirts on for the first time sure was exiting and we, after a lot of struggels, found our right size (kind of).  For some of us even warming up was new but we are fast learners so yay! Our first vict... Read more

Dear reader(s),  After the vaka*, it was finally time to play our first (cup) match of the year, spannie! This  was scheduled midweek, so, unfortunately, we had to skip the wo(e)mibo, because the match had, of course, our prio. But no worries, we had a hdp dinner mdm (and of course, Herwin). While hoping not to suffer an adidi, we left on our bikes for Glanerbrug. There, we were set to face Twente-Sparta. After putting on our sportfitje, we entered the hall, where we found, next to Gents 8 of Harambee, to... Read more

On the 12th of September Gents 1 had their first Cup match against Vips Bardot H3, where they went up against their once good friends Pim and Yuri. During the warmup some nice words were exchanged between us and our old companions, however from the first points onwards no mercy was shown.  We started off strong by leading 4:0 in the first set. We held that lead and even increased it by the end of the set, confidently winning the first set 25:16. Wybren’s insane vertical jump combined with Stefan’s marv... Read more

Ja ja ja! Het seizoen is weer begonnen! En hoe kan dat beter dan met een lekkere  lunch brunch. En toen begon het al, de DRAMAAAA, want de bus viel uit waardoor er 3 mensen ineens niet meer mee konden. Gelukkig kwam Emma met haar auto tot de redding, waardoor de 3 verloren dames-drieërs mooi mee naar Haaksbergen konden. Gelukkig waren we ruim optijd, en konden we lekker aan de wedstrijd beginnen. Eventjes opstarten, maar de eerste set is zeker al gewonnen! Al kwam Lise pas na de derde set erachter dat w... Read more

Every team faces challenges, and last night’s 3-0 loss was a learning experience for us. In the first set, we were stiff and hesitant, and it felt like we were trying to find our rhythm. But near the end, something clicked—we made a mental comeback and fought hard. Even though we didn’t win that set, it was clear that our team has potential. The second and third sets showed that while we weren’t falling far behind, Vips Bardot were clearly stronger. We were able to maintain our composure so that th... Read more

Lieve fans, haters (die we niet hebben), aanhang, tegenstanders, neutrale toeschouwers en alle andere geïnteresseerden van het tweede heren ensemble. Graag stellen wij u voor aan de eerste kampioenen van het lustrum jaar van Harambee!!   Zaterdag 7 September jongstleden was het dan zo ver; de godenzonen van Messieurs Deux mochten voor het eerst dit seizoen ten strijde trekken. Er vonden meerdere duels plaats in de thuis arena van geduchte tegenstander Apollo 8. Onze mannen stonden (natuurlijk) allemaal om... Read more

Dear Barbies, In our first game vs flash stars this season, and our very first away game, the Kens were excited. Entering their hall, we noticed that the hall was quite low, and thought that this was simply a waiting room. The ceiling was low which made us think we were in the wrong hall but there was a ladies volleyball training that also took what felt like forever to finish so we mustve been in the right place.We finally got into the game and were baffled that they were only setting to one guy without a ...

Saturday the 6th, the date of the final beach off of the year. Unfortunately for the first time this season we had to miss Barbie Timon. So we lined up for the last time to win for Barbie Timon. Barbie Mikal lined us up and despite a slower start and some balls that the opponent definitely shouldn't have touched we beat them pretty convincingly. Then Barbie Mikal made some small adjustments and other Ken reinforcements arrived on the field. Twente was finally somewhat warmed up and gave us a bit of a fight,... Read more

Daar gaan we. We zijn er weer bij en dat is prima. Na kleine opstart problemen zijn we er echt prima bij en pakken we ruuuiiiiim de overwinning ... Read more

  Hey Barbies,Gents 11 fooled us into going out to party all day and night the day before our beach off. Us, Kens, took this opportunity upon ourselves and chugged all the beers in sight. Roel Ken ended up with at least a whole crate of chugs by the end of the day. It was not our best game to say the least. We lost 1 set to the underdogs which made us lose our confidence. We didnt know 2 dutch Harambeers had the power of a stereo surround sound system in SC4. At the end, we are happy we didnt end up puking... Read more
