General

We were so glad to be back at BSN. Very special and important games against HRC, Delft and the Bassets. These are teams that we like and respect very much. But, we played the best rugby. Nobody played better rugby than us, believe me; and we played it so simply. We played great rugby, in…

Saturday 21st January, a gloriously sunny day, a brand new all weather pitch, a great turnout, friendly opposition, a good referee and a great team performance. What more could you ask for the beginning of the New Year? Turnout was good with 22 players available on the day. Delft supplied the referee and Delft and…

The BSN Minis closed out the year with three fine wins at DIOK on Saturday. With the floodlights on to fight the gloom, BSN played DIOK, HRC2 and Rotterdam, winning 5-0, 4-2 and 6-0. The play by the forwards was the highlight, with dominant scrummaging throughout and one of the forwards, David, took home the…

Saturday 10th December could not have been more different to the previous week as BSN Juniors faced Hookers at WRC (Te Werve). The weather was cold with continuous light rain, but following the dominant victory of the week before the mood was optimistic and the plan was for a repeat performance. No plan survives first…

With the cloud starting at ground level, the Minis travelled to Sasenheim for matches against the home team, RC Bassets, and RC DIOK Leiden. Although we had promised to bring two sides, a shortage in numbers meant that we had one side to play as BSN A and BSN B. This resulted in the Minis…

Match reporter: Neil Wallace Saturday 3rd December saw BSN Juniors face HRC2 at their adopted home ground of WRC (Te Werve) and, as with every encounter with HRC, there was a special hint of rivalry in the air. It was another perfect rugby day, sunny, dry and the ground was soft. BSN warm-up in…

Match report by Neil Wallace; Saturday 26th November saw the BSN Juniors playing away to Oysters RFC, Oisterwijk. The weather was sunny and dry and a good match seemed on the cards. Sixteen BSN players were available for the game, limiting the Coach’s options and forcing some to adopt unfamiliar positions. The local team benefitted…

Under blue skies, the Minis had a successful Bondsdag in Noord Brabant. BSN lined up on a frosty field in Uden against RC Octopus representing Nord Brabant, RC Eemland representing Utrecht, and Voorburgse RC Zuid Holland. First up was Eemland, who BSN hadn’t played in a year. The last meeting was as Benjis in a…

Some west coast warmth would have been welcome. The leaves may have been brown and the skies grey in Leiden, but the BSN Minis found success . Two games won. The first against DIOK by a good margin and the second against HRC in a closely contested game of rugby. BSN scored eleven tries against…

The BSN Minis brought two teams to HRC, winning five out of six games in the sunshine and the showers. Fielding an A and a B team, BSN played against teams from Delft, Hermes Schiedam, DIOK and HRC. BSN A took on Delft B in their first match and racked up the tries. Louis scored…
