Sun, Sand and Silverware
Hague’s annual beach tournament provided a great end to the season for the BSN Turvens. After a slow start in windy conditions, the team put together an impressive display of speed and commitment with wins over Rams, Diok, Voorburg, Pink Panthers and ‘t Gooi.

U10 Benji’s excel at Tournoi de la Table Magique
On the outskirts of Mons, deep in the south of Belgium, a group of impressive young boys – clad in their black, orange and white livery – stepped from their bus into the village of Frameries. The smoke from a number of campfires spiralled into the air as the sounds of Flemish, French, Dutch, Luxembourgish…
The Nationals
Saturday was the National championships in Delft. BSN Minis qualified as runners up in the Districts to take their place against fifteen other teams from across the Netherlands.

Last Home Match of the Season

Mini’s runners-up to Oemoemone at Etten-Leur
With Easter right around the corner, the Mini’s travelled to Etten-Leur for the Pre-Paas Toernooi. We always like visiting Etten-Leur, as their events are always well organised and you’re sure to play good or at least unfamiliar teams from outside our district. With two qualifying groups and 6 potential games, we settled in for the…
Not so slippery Oysters
Saturday 25th March was a gloriously sunny BSN day with the pitch looking fantastic. The lads arrived an hour earlier to support the Cubs playing Eindhoven, who put on an inspirational show. The disappointment of their last minute loss resonated deeply with the Juniors heart-ache at Delft 7 days earlier. 22 players turned out on…
Delft and last minute heartbreak
Normally a drive to the vicinity of IKEA is with a heavy heart, but not today! Saturday 18th March, a month to the day since last minute upset against Gouda, BSN Juniors faced Delft away. Following the relatively long break since the last game turnout was good with 21 players available on the day and…
