Saturday, October 4th, dawned as a glorious day with beautiful sunshine. In short: perfect weather to play a korfball match. A well dressed-out delegation of Vakgericht players traveled to Wierden to face Blauw Zwart. While travelling there, some dark clouds appeared, but that didn't worry us. While we performed our warm-up routine, it turned out to be a bit windier than expected, but we kicked off the match with confidence. It was evenly matched, with a point here, a counter-point there, but the score didn't increase rapidly. (Read: it stood still for 20 minutes.) The wind picked up and the sky became increasingly overcast, perhaps that played a role in the lack of points. Blauw Zwart and Vakgericht continued playing bravely, even though it had started raining in the meantime. At some point, a thunderstorm started, so we went inside for a while. After a short break, we were allowed…

A few days after the start of the Midweek competition, the Vakgericht weekend team was also ready to play their first match of the outdoor season. The home team was fully prepared: the last one at the house party was the first on the pitch, with his three other teammates completing one section. The other section was equally fit, but with a bit more sleep in their legs. This match also marked the return of Denise, the introduction of Arjanne, and Femke's refereeing debut. With no substitutes and a large visiting team, the match kicked off. The sunshine and pleasant temperature completed the setting. Both sides fought hard. The pace was high, but goals remained relatively few and far between. We can confidently conclude that the defense was tight. The score was tied at 6-6 at halftime. Although the visitors made a few substitutions, the students held on bravely: 4,…

A beautiful Wednesday evening in mid-September can only mean one thing: the midweek has begun! Full of enthusiasm, ten Vakgerichters traveled to the picturesque town of Vriezenveen to take on Amicitia. Because the home team's outfit is predominantly white, the students brought their splendid away kits with them, which generated varying levels of enthusiasm. We were certainly impossible to miss on the field, and after a somewhat unexpectedly short warm-up, we kicked off a friendly match. It took a while for the first point to fall, but the home team opened the scores. However, Vakgericht refused to be discouraged, and with very long attacks, the visitors also scored. The match was in balance, and Vakgericht kept the defense nice and tight. However, Amicitia managed to score several times from long range, and Vakgericht racked up a lot of deflections, giving the home team a narrow lead going into the second…

The second-to-last match of the year was already on the programme for Vakgericht 1 last Saturday. This time, the students, who did not win a match yet this spring season, had to travel to Wierden to face Blauw Zwart 3, a team they know well. Whereas in the previous game Vakgericht lost after an exciting and sportive battle, this time the team intended to take revenge. Vakgericht started the game strongly and after a 1-1 start they took a 2-5 lead. For the rest of the first half, Vakgericht was the dominant team, playing long attacks with lots of variation. Combined with strong defensive work thay took a large lead into the break, 2-8. Blauw Zwart was not beaten yet, however, and with some personnel changes and several tactical conversions, which hit their mark both offensively and defensively, started the second half very strongly. The blue-black brigade scored very quickly…
