Last Satruday our team has embarked on a journey to challenge the current best team in promotion class B. As much as I would like to say that we fought to the very last second, some doubt could be heard in our voices at the beginning of the match. After some time however, we got back into our own rhythm, but could not close the gap in the score between us and the opponents. The game ended with a 0-4 loss, which is heartbreaking. The team decided after the match, that no matter who our opponents are, we need... Lees meer

Aloha reader(s), Saturday, November 9th marked our fourth competition match of the season. After the first three matches, in which we only managed to win one set, we were again extra motivated to secure some points today. Our opponent, Ti-Volley, provided a good opportunity for us to get back on track, but unfortunately, things did not go as hoped. Despite the energetic encouragement from the crowd and our efforts, luck was not really on our side. We fought hard, but the opponents managed to get at least t... Lees meer

This Wednesday, our team played against Bovo Heren 1. We started off slow, which resulted in us losing the first set in the end. What is disappointing about this loss is that during the second and third set, we managed to play the game that we should always play and had a great lead, with the score of 18-9 and 20-17 in sets 2 and 3 respectively. However, I think that the fear of losing still lingered in our mind, which is why we got flustered and lost both of those sets. The fourth set turned out to be a lo... Lees meer

Helaas, de wedstrijd is verplaatst. Maar, dat betekend niet dat dames 3 niet bedrijvig is geweest. Laten we beginnen met de vrijdag, de originele wedstrijd dag. Omdat we zelf niet om 19.00 hoefden te spelen, hebben we onze geweldige voor pinda allergische coach aan kunnen moedigen. Het mocht wel even duren voordat we van zijn speelkunsten konden genieten, want onze lieve Philip kwam pas in de derde set in actie. Omdat Philip in het begin nog niet direct in actie kwam, konden de biggetjes op de tribune hun s... Lees meer

*For english see below*   Beste Kabouters,   Eindelijk mogen onze heren u weer voorzien van een mooi verhaal. Afgelopen vrijdag stond de wedstrijd tegen het grote Apollo 8 H2 op de planning en de boys kwamen met gezonde bravoure naar het sportcentrum. De eerste ontmoeting van het seizoen, op het Apollo toernooi te Borne, gaf onze jongens al wat zelf vertrouwen. We treden liever niet in details, maar de zin “Wat fijn dat we na vandaag de eerste ‘4-0 geen gelul’ mogen bijschrijven.” werd uit versche... Lees meer

Before we begin, I’d like to take a moment and dedicate a paragraph to our star middle player, Martin. Martin is a great middle, he is there at the most important moments and spikes hard and strong, not to mention his amazing blocking. He recently went through a very unfortunate happening in training and will be out of our lines for some time. All the readers of this blog are with you, Martin, and wish you a quick recovery. The other middles will try to fill your place, which is not an easy thing to do. Y... Lees meer

Aloha reader(s), Already a week and a half ago, it was time for our match against Twente'05 DS1. Some of us had already faced (part) of this team in a preparation tournament at the starting of this academic year. This gave us a heads-up that we needed to stay alert throughout the game. There were also some 'new' faces on their team, including Laura, who now plays there. In the first set, we started strong and built up a nice lead. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you might already guess what happen... Lees meer

*For English check below*   Lieve Fans,   Het was deze vrijdag weer raak, de mannen van het tweede ensemble des Harambee mocht weer een potje volleyballen. Er werd aangetreden tegen de mannen van Vip’s Bardot H3 beter bekend als de dump voor uitgerangeerde Harambeeërs. Dit team bevatte onder andere de befaamde Yuri van Midden welke, zoals sommigen van jullie nog goed herinneren, de trainer was van een groot deel van onze spelers. Van te voren bekende deze man dat hij niet heeft kunnen slapen van de spa... Lees meer

On the 19th of October, our team has travelled a long way in order to beat the team called Morgana DVO Heren 1 that resides in the "other" Hengelo. We won the first two sets with the scores of 25-21 and 25-23. Unfortunately, we could not make this win a clean sheet, as the oppsoing team won the third set with the score of 23-25. However, we made sure to solidify our position in being the better team and won the fourth set with the score of 25-22. Overall, during the entirety of the game we made sure to keep... Lees meer

On the 12th of October the Harambee fighters faced a new challenger, Hellas H1, who for some reason are trying to be the Greek basketball team. Even though they were playing promotie class last year, we were not underestimating our opponent, as there must’ve been a good reason for their promotion. So the fight started with our lovely supporters in the stands of SC4. The match started well, however we made a lot of our own mistakes. We were missing serves (probably due to the fact that we are training in S... Lees meer
