Onze eerste competitiewedstrijd was uit in Goor tegen Dynamiek D2. Vooraf aten we in het appartement van Merijn. Dit is een tweepersoonsappartement op de derde verdieping zonder lift, wat twee probleempjes veroorzaakte. Ten eerste moesten we dus met 13 mensen eten in een kleine woonkamer, dat was lekker knus. Ten tweede betekende dit dat Iris, onze coach op krukken met veel geduld de trappen van de flat moest trotseren. Uiteindelijk kwam alles goed, uiteraard! Naja, alles, bij het wegrijden waren we bijna M... Lees meer

  Gents three’s season started off with a serious challenge. The men were sent on their first mission after only one training session as a new team. The newly formed team met up at the Sports Centre, where they were joined by reinforcements Mr. Holtkamp and Mr. Willems. Before we left, Mr. Holtkamp kindly helped fellow students to jump-start their new year. Or at least their car. After helping them on their way, the team left towards Losser, eager to test their skill and teamwork against the a formidable... Lees meer

This Saturday Gents Three was sent on it’s next mission, which took place in our own backyard! And just like our first mission, we once again faced old rivals. Or rather, old allies-turned-rivals. Back in the old days... Anyway. The matchday started with lunch at the stands to cheer on the other teams that were already playing their games. We were happy to have coach Chiel back from spending two weeks at Defensie. Among other things, Chiel expanded his knowledge of torture methods of different forms stren... Lees meer

Gamenight 9 okt 2025 Do you believe in the butterfly effect? If not, you should. What are you doing!! Let me explain. By now you know the routine. Gameday means eating together and traveling together to the gym. While driving some of us missed our turns 3 times. The drive was so long and the gym was so secluded in the forest at a given point we thought we were going to play against deers and farm animals. When we finally arrived at the gym, we beat our opponent 4 – 0. Now imagine What if… we didn’t mi... Lees meer

With the recent 4-0 defeat still fresh in our minds, we travelled to Winterswijk today to take on Wivoc. To prepare, we had a nice brunch at Frank's house, who had bought us some tasty Kaiser rolls and eggs. Because we apparently didn't look very awake, Jorrit, who came downstairs halfway through our breakfast, decently hungover, decided to put on some uplifting music, also known among connoisseurs as “grafherrie”. Once awake, we noticed that seven people were supposed to join us for brunch, but only si... Lees meer

We started our match really well with a nice first set. There was a problem.... There were fake lines!!! 😳. The ref had difficulty differentiating those lines as well. Luckily we had lovely Danique who stood up for us❤️, but the ref was really set in her decisions. Even the opponent tried to come to our defense but it did not matter. Despite all that, we still won the first set!   As usual we started the second set with a setback. They had a really good serve which we struggled with. But we would no... Lees meer

Today, as you may have expected, we had another match! This time, we again went to Oldenzaal. First, we had lunch ~in Germany~ at Lise’s place.    However, the first problem arose even before leaving. Willy lost the keys for her car… After a quick search, she found them! Where were they? In the lock on the outside of the car of course!    Then we made our way to the hall. During this short drive, we did come to one conclusion: Willy looks like a sweet and lovely girl, but when she is behind the whee... Lees meer

2 weeks ago, we played our final cup match. We had already lost our first two games unfortunately, but that didn’t bring our spirits down. Since we weren’t advancing anyway, at least the pressure was off and we could just focus on having fun and getting to know eachother in the field.  We kicked off the evening with a delicious pasta pesto dinner at Lara’s place, and we also introduced Anna to the Harambee doorgeefsysteem, very important of course! After dinner, we faced the classic challenge: gettin... Lees meer

  Game day 04 October 2025   TheLaW signing in with the news of the day… You know what they say. “Third times the charm”, “three is the magic number” “If at first you don’t succeed try, try and try again”, “All good things comes in three”, “third time, right time” On Saturday we had our first match of the season but our third match as a team. A lot of pressure because I always believed the way you start is the pace you keep during the season. So you either start good or go home. So... Lees meer

Today was our first official match of the season! And now you're thinking, huh, where were they? Unfortunately, we thought the same about you, our supporters, but we understand it was confusing that we were already shining on the field at 11:00 in the morning. With a cup of coffee or tea, we started the day in the sports canteen, recovering like drowned cats after the rain. During the match, we realized our diet had been a bit too much spinach lately, as our serves were a bit too far a few times. Luckily, w... Lees meer
