For our re-rematch against Mare Volley we were invited to inspect their hall again. The inspection was scheduled at the amazing time of 19.00 which meant dinner was planned for half past four. As this was not feasible to fit next to our main construction day-jobs, Jorrit and Sjoerd prepared wraps to go which we ate in the canteen of Noord-Deurningen. There the local bartender even supplemented our dinner with borrelnootjes. As coaches we were supported by Martin and Lorenz.   While we had a bit of a rough ... Lees meer

Commando's log: Saturday, 7 February 2026 - Mission Passed Filed by TheLaW After two losses to start the year, it was time.Time to reset.Time to remind ourselves who we are. But the enemy had no intention of making it easy. Set 1 — The 36-Point War We stepped onto the battlefield thinking this would be routine. We had beaten them before. Why wouldn’t we do it again? That confidence lasted only a few rallies. The enemy had grown stronger, sharper, tougher. They pulled out moves that woke us up fast. What... Lees meer

Commando’s Log: Friday, 30 January 2026 – Mission failure Filed by Commando: TheLaW After losing our previous battle, the commandos were hungry to return to winning ways.But fate had other plans. This time we faced a tough opponent, one we had never defeated before. The stakes were high. This wasn’t just another match; this was a chance to break a barrier that had stood in front of us for too long. Set 1 — The Slip For once, we started strong.Good motion. Good energy. Good vibes. The enemy pushed, b... Lees meer

Commando’s Log: Wednesday, 14 January 2026 – Mission failure Filed by commando TheLaW I’m here to present bad news.Even though the calendar turned and a new year began, our first mission of the year ended in failure. We went into battle against an enemy we had faced before — and defeated before. That history gave us confidence, maybe too much of it. We expected the outcome to be familiar.It wasn’t. Set 1 — Broken Promises The first set began the way our battles too often do: with low energy.Thi... Lees meer

Commando’s Log: Friday, 12 December 2025 – Redemption at Home Base Filed by commando TheLaW After the loss in our previous battle, it was time to redeem ourselves and this time, we did it on our own soil.Everyone knew this fight would be against the lowest-ranked team in the pool. Chief had warned us during training: do not underestimate the opponent. So of course… we did exactly that. Set 1 — Asleep at the Gates The battle began, and as tradition sadly dictates, the commandos entered the field half... Lees meer

The day after Sinterklaas it was time to give ourselves one more present, a few points and third place in the competition. We had the pleasure to play against Gents 1 of Enter and thus had prime time: 17:00! This meant we had to have some proper lunch which Thijs provided for us. Swen (red: Procyonis) was flown in to coach us since our Hoofdpiet was busy building surprises. After lunch we got into the cars and a little while later we entered Enter.   Then we saw a bright flash. The next moment we were in ... Lees meer

Commando’s Log: Wednesday, 3 dec 2025 – The Day the Streak Fell Filed by TheLaW TheLaW is signing in today with sad news. The commandos have been defeated. After a long and glorious winning streak, someone finally managed to get the better of us. On our way into enemy territory, confidence charged through the troop. We believed we were going to secure another victory. But once on the battlefield, a very different war cry echoed. Set 1 We promised each other we would begin the first set on fire… but th...

Our team constructed pokebowls at Roels place. This provided us with the perfect foundation to match up against the lowest scoring team in the construction-league. The men of Havoc HS2 were facing demolition/demotion and for us this was the perfect opportunity to take the freight elevator towards the top of the competition. But we all know, things went differently.   The first set we took by a mm distance, which already indicated that the victory would not be as easy as we all dreamed of. The opponents slo... Lees meer

As always, we started our match preparation with a solid foundation. For this we had 'brunch' at Maartens keet, for which we gathered at 9. This might have been a bit early as leidinggevende Martin needed to be picked up from his bed. But alas we were complete and traveled to Rijssen.   No work done without coffee, so the few spare minutes we had were spent on black gold, but only the bare minimum because we had a tight schedule for the day. And thus many mouths were burned on the coffee tempo. In the spir... Lees meer

Commando’s Log: Friday, November 28 2025 Filed by commando TheLaW Another battle, another test of will. Set 1 — The Morning FogThe first set started with that familiar low energy again. We really need to find the cure for that. Before we knew it, the enemy was pulling ahead, and chief had to make some early changes to wake us up. After that switch we started firing our cannons. Strong serves, solid blocks but our biggest weakness showed: we kept trying to hammer the enemy with raw power, even when it wa... Lees meer
