Aloha reader(s), On Friday, November 29, it was time for our away match against Kuipers Flevoll Ladies 2. This match occurred later in the evening, so after dinner, there was plenty of time for a nice game with everyone. Once we were done with that, it was time to make our way to the match location. After changing clothes, we could start the warm-up. Here it turned out that the referee was not good at watching the clock, and we are not talking about the fact that the clock in that hall had not yet been mov... Lees meer

Aloha reader(s), Saturday December 7th, we had to play a match against Apollo 8 DS5. There was a lot of audience for encouragement, partly because it was home weekend, but also because Apollo had brought quite some spectators from Borne. During the cup games we had already played against them, in which we had lost 3-0 (25-19, 25-18, 25-18). So, we knew it was going to be a tough match, in which there was not much room to fall behind. Fortunately, we played a nice match, in which mainly the service was not s... Lees meer

On the 7th of December our team was designated with the duty to protect our home grounds against the third place in the Promotion B class. The team was dedicated to win, regardless of the current positioning of the league teams. The game started smoothly, with us winning the first set. However, some things went wrong and we started to trip over ourselves, losing the next two sets. Winning the 4th set, we knew that victory was close. However, in a close game of 14-14, we lost 2 points and the game was over i... Lees meer

Het is was weer thuisweekend, en dus speelde jullie favoriete dames 3 weer een wedstrijd op vrijdag avond. Nog altijd schitterend in de nieuwe shirtjes namen wij het deze week op tegen de dames van Aastad, die eerste staan in de competitie. Oftewel, niks te verliezen dus. Vantevoren werd er door een deel van het team samen gegeten in de sportkantine. De rest kwam later aanwandelen. Op het laatste moment bleek Lise toch niet fit genoeg, en dus speelden we met 11 speelsters (dankjewel Anouk) onze wedstrijd. Z... Lees meer

Lief heren 2 legioen,   Dit weekend was er weer van alles te doen. We speelden de dag na 5 december, tijd voor pittige wedstrijd als Gember. De tegenstander werd gesponsord door Tuc, maar harambee deux geeft geen fuck. Er werd met 3-1 gewonnen thuis, wel winst maar het set verlies was niet pluis.    Gelukkig konden de mannen dit snel vergeten, want er werd weer met pitchers bier gesmeten. De dag voor gala helemaal sjikke, uitgezonderd dan voor die dikke. Hij was als enige voor wedstrijdleiding niet brak,... Lees meer

Geachte lieverds,    We hebben u helaas nog niet verteld over onze laatste thuiswedstrijd. Hiervoor ons excuus. Bij deze nemen we u graag nog even mee naar vrijdag 22 November jongstleden.   De jongens waren vol zelfvertrouwen en wisten wat ze te doen stond. 4-0 winnen zou betekenen dat zij weer op de eerste plaats in de competitie plaats mogen nemen. Hier was iedereen dan ook vol op gefocust. De gehele week was er getraind om gebruik te kunnen maken van de zwakke puntjes bij Devoc dus er kon klaarblijke... Lees meer

Dag lieve kindertjes,   Afgelopen zaterdag was het dan weer tijd. Met het verlies van de week er voor nog fris in het geheugen, moesten onze mannen aantreden in Wierden. De mannen uit wierden hadden een niet nader te noemen spits uit Amsterdam die hen aanmoedigde, maar dit kon de godenzonen in oranje en paars niet imponeren.    De eerste set was bloedstollende spannend, want onze jongens wisten maarliefst 6 maal op setpoint te komen. Maar blijkbaar vonden ze in wierden 1 setpoint genoeg dus werd deze set... Lees meer

Aloha reader(s), Saturday, November 23, we faced Volley '68 DS1. And although the match was scheduled at 1 p.m., meaning that we would start the warming-up at 12.15 p.m., it turned out that the match before us had yet to start their fourth set at that time. Since that left us with some time to spare, we decided to go back into the hallway where it was a little warmer and do some team bonding. Thus, we got to know each other better by bombarding each other with dilemmas, such as: what do you prefer, always ... Lees meer

The previous Saturday our team played against a lower ranked team in the league, Apollo 8 Heren 3. At the beginning we were still shy, since we forgot the taste of victory and got conditioned after being defeated heavily twice in a row with the scores of 4-0. However, even though we lost the first set, we jumped back on our feet and won the next three sets with consistent effort.... Lees meer

This Saturday, the team had to take a long journey to Deventer in order to face the opponents. During pre-game lunch, an unsolved mystery showed itself in the form of snail tracks on the floor of a house. We had to leave the investigation, since we had an important match to attend to. After losing the first set, we realized that even though the opponents clearly outperformed us, we could not leave the field without having tried our all in order to win. Therefore, afterwards the whole team started trying to ... Lees meer
