Dutch title with pun (Dé bal ging dér gewoon maar niet in) refers to Dé-bal-dér-in On Tuesday, December 19, the last match of the 2023 calendar year was played at our neighbors DVO. In this legendary korfball hall, where there are the facilities to play a high level match, it should certainly be a piece…
It is Wednesday January 10th. After a night of moderate frost, Wageningen wakes up in a ‘winter spirit’. Teammates Jurren and Jelmer agreed in the morning to go ice skating on flooded meadows in the Binnenveld. Although Jelmer has been a member for almost two years, playing midweek matches with Débaldérin have always been fatal…
It was a busy week for Débaldérin. GMM on Monday, training on Tuesday, a match on Wednesday and then training on Thursday. In addition, many members were actually still tired of the G-Cup. It was therefore not surprising that it was difficult to find enthusiasm for an autumnal bike ride through the infield to and…
Yes, yes, the time had finally come, the first indoor match in Wageningen was played on Tuesday, November 7. The Débalérin team against Hazenkamp. Our team lined up strongly with 6 ladies and 6 men. The match started with a great lead for our team. However, our opponents did not simply give up and came…
After the victory against De Hazenkamp, it was time for the 2nd indoor match on November 15. This time against Noviomagum in Lent. After a short discussion, it was decided that Jan Linders provided a nice base to gather and leave by car to the club mentioned.Once arrived and warmed up, Bart Merks opened the…
Thursday 17 October it was finally time, the match that would be won. With a team of the most dangerous players of Débaldérin including star player Fons. And the latter is a rarity since the switch of star player Fons to KCD, the self-proclaimed but poorly substantiated ‘cozy korfball club Doorn’. Well, because this match…
Last Wednesday we played the ‘first-year match’. We competed with as many first-year members as possible against the student korfball club from Nijmegen, SkunK. Débaldérin ultimately fielded six new members and five old members. In the beginning it took some time to get used to each other, since we don’t know each other’s way of…
The second match of the season against Keizer Karel started slow in the beginning, after which the pace increased in the second half.We started with exactly eight players (without substitutions) and after only few exceptional actions in the first half it was 6-2 at halftime. The second half was evenly matched (8-4) and we finally…
After a few weeks of well-deserved rest, it was time for the first midweek competition of the year. Despite the holidays, the enthusiasm among the members for this competition was not very high. While our opponent was the Animo club (yes, this joke has been made several times). Ultimately, 12 players were ready to play…
As the cold, December days mark the end of 2022, it was the time for Debbie’s squad to take on Nijmegen’s Keizer Karel. This fixture marks the first indoor home game for Débaldérin, and this game was the one to chase our first win. The scene was set, especially with the strong home support that…
