Benjis Undefeated at Hookers
BSN Benjis enjoyed glorious spring sunshine for the first trip to Hookers of the season. School holidays meant that only 14 players were available for selection, so the two teams worked hard and shared players across the 5 matches. Kealan played really well in his debut for BSN scoring three trys and making some great…
Tight to the Finish Against T’Gooi
BSN started well in the last of their home games this season. They were leading 12-5, against T’Gooi, midway through the first half, but the away team came strongly into the game, dominating in the ruck, and led at half time 12-22. The Cubs picked themselves up and had the better of the second half. In…

Scrappy New Year! But, Scrappy Will Do…
On Saturday, it was a scrappy first win of 2019 for the BSN Cubs against Utrecht Rugby Club. The weather was maritime and far from welcoming after the comfort of the Christmas break. The match was played under a blanket of grey low cloud and through horizontal cold rain. URC were physically on top in…
Cubs Find HRC Tough To Beat
HRC came out on top in the second competitive meeting between HRC and BSN Cubs this season. BSN had their moments, but found it hard against bigger and well organised opponents. They contained HRC for long periods and scored one try, but ultimately the defensive work took its toll. HRC looking like the team to…
With the Wind at your Backs
Matches between the BSN and Breda Cubs are always tight and competitive, and this was no exception. A real contender for game of the season. The stormy conditions played a role. Breda, with the wind behind them, took the first half 12-0 despite strong BSN pressure as the half went on. After the break, BSN…
Cubs Come Close, but T’Gooi Take the Game
When the BSN cubs last came to Naarden, they lost 50-17 to T’Gooi. The weather was colder this time around and the match was much closer. T’Gooi edged BSN 20-10, but this was an opportunity for the cubs. Just as in October, T’Gooi put BSN under pressure at the start, and again their big number…
