Hockey away to Schaerwijde in Zeist

Saturday the 13th of Sept, The B1's (Jim plays for the B1's) from de Almerese played their first away game of the 2008 - 2009 championship against Schaerwijde in Zeist in the province of Utrecht. They have a full water field, and very nice catering, like brie sandwiches, and a small golf course, and an indoor hockey field, and a fireplace, and soft seats, and two terraces overlooking the main field. And they beat us. 3: 1 was the score. Marco scored for the B1's, after a short corner, when Bram took the first shot, and after a rebound it came to Marco who placed it high in the right hand side of the net. They were better as well just in case you think we were hard done by.
Today it was mainly the "rijdend ouders" (those roostered in to drive) who were there. Cita ( the team mentor) Ruud & Joyce Cornelissen, Spike Plaat, Frits Veldhuis, Gijs's mother, and me. Tom the trainer also had his car with him and I think Pasha (the joint trainer) and he went together. The boys looked good altogether with their new training suits, black with silver text and markings, sponsored by Asito (Cita's company) Weather started a bit iffy, but it stayed dry for the most though a bit chilly, more so than we are used to especially last Thursday only when we sat out till late with Jarno and Rianne playing music. Benjamin was on the bench but did not play, is still injured with his broken toe. Jim and Stephan were substituted the most.
