Tough test for Turvens in the Delft mist
It was a tough physical test this morning with 4 short matches in a row in the Delft mist. Character building (or damp and cold) depending on your perspective!
Juniors miss out in the dying seconds
Saturday 4th February saw the BSN Juniors travelling to HRC for another clash with the local rivals. As always with HRC part of the match day excitement is seeing which HRC team emerges on the day and initially the signs were not good as HRC thought the game was starting an hour later than scheduled.…
Brilliant Turvens win 5 out of 6 at home!
What a brilliant morning of rugby, with fantastic individual skills and most importantly excellent teamwork! It was much better having the full size pitches this time and there was lots of open flowing rugby played by all the teams. By my count BSN won 5 out of the 6 matches – fantastic result!
It’s going to be only BSN first. BSN first
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…

Friendlies in the Mist
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…
