General
Back in Black
After two weeks of pulling together sides by borrowing players from the opposition, head coach Daran was glad to have enough players for a starting nine plus one substitute for the friendlies at Delft. Three matches were played against Delft and two Rotterdam teams, with fine team play by BSN. The first match was against…

Read MoreSleepless in Gouda
The remaining Benjis made up for missing out of the British School holidays, by having a rugby holiday themselves, dozing and sleepwalking through 3 games against HRC and Gouda. With players thin on the ground, no-one was expecting much more than a workout in the warm weather at Gouda. You could even tell how dozy…

The BSN Benjis secure 3rd place at the International Youth Tournament! Well, I say the BSN Benjis… With the BSN Easter holidays in full swing, along with famine, illness, mechanical failure and a host of other excuses which would have made Lachlan’s mum Louise proud :-), the depleted Benjis squad came to Hilversum with one…
Read MoreUnfamiliar Territory at Districts
The Benji’s brought two teams to the District Championships at HRC to contest in the Cup & Plate competitions, with the Tigers competing for the Cup.

Two weeks until the District tournament and Tigers and T-Rex were at DIOK for games against HRC, Bassets and the home A and B teams. DIOK’s first team continue to be the biggest challenge and are expected to be the main threat at the Districts. The Tigers edged a close contest 2-1 with a last…
Read MoreThe Fast and the Frozen
The ground was frozen hard in Hoek van Holland. Winter had finally made an appearance. The coaches instructions were to, “stay on your feet” and not to commit to diving tackles. There were three games against the Hookers, HRC and DIOK; three games won by BSN. William and Rory scored seven tries each, but there…
