On February 11, we faced EKCA/CIBOD in the return match. Two months earlier, the game in Arnhem had ended in a 9-11 victory for Débaldérin, so there was confidence that the points would stay in Wageningen this time. With a deep and talented squad of no fewer than 12 players (!), the match kicked off…
On February 8, the home game against Animo was on the schedule. We had won the away game convincingly, so we entered this match with confidence. Unfortunately, we were missing Lara, who had suffered a finger injury during Thursday’s training and had to watch the game from the bench. Matthijs was eager to play and…
With last week’s win against DKOD still fresh in our minds, we knew exactly what needed to be done. Win all the remaining matches, and we become champions. Easy, right? We gathered at the AH – Jan Linders to start our journey to Nijmegen in pre-arranged cars. However, we once again underestimated our timing, not…
On the morning of January 25th, the most important test for Débaldérin 1 in the hall awaited. The result would determine who would be at the top of the league by the end of the week. As you can imagine, both teams were highly motivated to win. The first half started very evenly, and neither…
On Tuesday, January 28, the Débaldérin midweek team played against Zetten for the fourth time this year. The match was conveniently in Wageningen, so there was still time to pick up the forgotten bag of team shirts. Once all the jerseys and newly ordered skirts had arrived—and after Anne fished a pair of shoes out…
This Wednesday, we didn’t have to travel far, as we played against KV Wageningen on Marijkeweg. We weren’t too nervous about it—our midweek team had been performing exceptionally well in the indoor league so far, so why should we worry? Back in November, we had already won 21-14, so of course, we were planning to…
This week marked the first match in the double-header against Hemur Enge. Along with the following game against DKOD, those might well be the most important games of the season, as these two teams seem to be the strongest opponents in the pool. The starting lineup featured Deen, Kamiel, Marieke, and Nathalie in attack, with…
Debalderin 1 – KCD 4 34-15 After five long days at work, you hope to catch a bit more sleep on a drizzly Saturday morning. But around 9:30, I was jolted awake… hmm, I had promised to come watch a match my daughter was playing in. A quick bite, and off to Wageningen. It must…
Speculating beforehand about the level of our opponent didn’t give us much insight, so we decided to focus on our own strengths and start the match with full energy. And that we did. It quickly became clear that we were far superior as we pulled away to a 0-7 lead with goals from, among others,…
With the match against DKOD on Tuesday still in our legs, it was already time for the second game of the season just a few days later, on Saturday. And it was clear that a game had already been played. Matthijs found two matches a bit too much and was absent, Marieke wasn’t feeling entirely…
