TRAVEL DAY IN THE BAG

28 March 24 | 22:34

What a day! In a whistlestop tour... We have appeared on BBC Radio, went pitchside at the Johan Cruyff Arena, donned giant clogs and the dads can't get enough of the swimming pool. It's time to catch our breath, before this blog properly kicks off tomorrow.

DAY 2 PREVIEW

31 Mar 24 | 09:30

As day 2 of the Holland Easter Open gets underway here’s a reminder of what’s to come…


Team 1:

After some good performances yesterday, picking up draws against some good Dutch sides but unfortunately not doing enough to qualify for the cup, we now will try to end on a high as we face three more. 

We begin against VV Ter Leede before facing VIOS’38 Beugen. We will then finish the group with a match against RKSV Venhorst. 


Team 2: 

After a fantastic performance yesterday topping the group with seven points scoring ten goals along the way, we have qualified for the cup. 

We get underway against Peterborough Junior Blues. We then face Football Development Schools (2), in a replay of yesterday’s encounter where we won 2-0. At last we will then play DSV Sint Anthonies to conclude the group. Peterborough cruised through their group without conceding a single goal making them the team to beat this afternoon.

FIVE STAR START

31 Mar 24 | 09:55

What a start for team 1! An absolutely fantastic performance sees us claim three points with a brilliant 5-0 victory. Devon was the star of the show picking up a hat-trick!
