On the 28th of November, after a two week break from games, Gents 1 warriors were ready to get back in the ring to battle it out with Vips Bardot H2. The opposing team had the home court advantage and the home court ball – horrible Gala ball, however we were unfaced by these factors. We will bring the heat wherever and in whichever conditions. We started a bit rough, being 4:2 behind, as the receiving was a bit rough and scoring was not working. However, we made the necessary changes and within a few poin... Lees meer

On the 15th of November, a week after completely annihilating Rivo Rijsen H1, we were faced against Monica’s other team – Volley’68 HS1. Already before the match during warming up something felt a bit off with our warriors. The hitting wasn’t going too well and in general there was some nervousness in the air. Out of the gate, the opponents started well and therefore we were trailing by a few points. We were able to make a comeback and get ahead by a few points with successful blocking and attacking...

Een nieuwe wedstrijd betekent nieuwe kansen om lol te hebben, goed te spelen, en wellicht zelfs wat punten te pakken. De zaterdagochtend begon vroeg, met een heerlijk ontbijt bij Sophie om half 10. Na de zoveelste logistieke puzzel te hebben gelegd: spelers met de autos die van verschillende kanten kwamen, spelers met de trein, druiven ophalen onderweg, en uiteindelijk allemaal om 11:15 in de sporthal in Oldenzaal zijn. Waar wij dachten dat het ingewikkelde deel van de dag gedaan was, hebben we ons toch ver... Lees meer

Afgelopen vrijdag was het weer tijd voor een fenomenale wedstrijd. Laten we eerst eventjes uitgebreid de weg erna toe bespreken.    Voor de wedstrijd hebben we onze lichamen natuurlijk eerst van krachtvoer moeten voorzien. Zo gingen Kim en Lise de winkel in met als missie een goedkoop, simpel, lekker, gezond maaltje te maken. Met wat hulp van een erg vriendelijke Lidl medewerker stond dit duo al snel aan de kassa met het avondeten + een heerlijk toetje. En dames en heren, goedkoop is gelukt, want inclusie... Lees meer

Aloha reader(s), Last Saturday, it was finally time for the first match in which our team was complete. As mentioned in the previous team blog, this meant that we could combine ALL our strengths to have a great match with a good result. The first set started off fairly like we were used to; we were quickly 5-0 down, and later even 17-11 behind, but then we began our comeback. However, where we had 'sometimes' let it slip away in the past, we now managed to win the set 22-25! With this, we had doubled the n... Lees meer

Na onze lange herfst stop was het eindelijk weer tijd voor een wedstrijd! En dit was een zeer speciale wedstrijd, want alle biggetjes waren vandaag aanwezig! Zo zijn we vandaag afgerezen naar het verre verre Borne, om het hier tegen Apollo op te nemen. Deze reis ging zoals gewoonlijk totaal niet soepel. Omdat samen lunchen helaas geen optie was, is er besloten om de reis op het station te starten. Hier zouden de auto’s met passagiers vertrekken, en Kim en Lise zouden hun reis per trein vervolgen. Op een e... Lees meer

On the 9th November, the SC4 arena was once again filled with fired up fans and Gents 1 fighters. This time our opponents were Rivo Rijssen H1. We were expecting a tough game, even the supporters of the opposing team had the guts to come out here and cheer them on. We were hungry for some blood and as ready as we could be. The first set began well, we went point for point in the first few points, but then we were more consistent and the opponent made quite a lot of mistakes. We earned our first lead with so...

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
