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 and started a run of five goals before the students could score again. At a 7-9 score with newly regained morale for the Wierdeners, they managed to level the score to 9-9. Vakgericht did not give in easily, however, and with an extreme effort managed to score two goals in a row and run out again to 9-11, a blow the home team could not recover from. Blauw Zwart managed to come back at 10-11 in the closing stages, but in the last minute the students managed to close the game with a dry long-distance shot by Marit, 10-12. As a result, Vakgericht finally got rid of the zero points and they will work towards the last match of the season where they will face Zwart-Wit from Delden.
