NETHERLANDS: FAREWELL MOMENT FOR ELEVEN INTERNATIONALS WITH A TOTAL OF OVER 1700 CAPS
Together they played more than 1700 international matches and say goodbye to the general public on Tuesday evening. No less than eleven internationals will then be sounded off in the Wagener Stadium by the KNHB and thanked in a festive way for their services. Laurien Leurink will be the first on Tuesday. She is the only female […]
NETHERLANDS: ORANJE DAMES WIN PRO LEAGUE AFTER VICTORY OVER GERMANY
The Orange Ladies won the FIH Pro League on Monday evening in the Wagener Stadium. In Amstelveen, Germany was defeated 2-1 this time. It is the third time in four editions of the prestigious country competition that the Orange triumphs. Only one year of the Pro League – that of last season – did not finish winning. Then […]
NETHERLANDS: RODEN’S THREE PROMOTIONS IN A ROW
The gentlemen of Roden did something unique this season. The team from Drenthe was promoted for the third time in a row and will play in the First Division next hockey year. A remarkable achievement for the less than three hundred member association from the far north. A leap back in time. Twelve years ago, Roden also played […]
NETHERLANDS: VISSER – ‘BOTH GOALS WERE MISTAKES ON MY PART’
It was a special week for Maurits Visser. After many games on the bench with the Orange and much less within the lines, he was told last week that he is the first goalkeeper at the European Championship in August . In addition, the 28-year-old closing post was allowed to work hard this weekend against Germany and New Zealand […]
Netherlands: Veenendaal 100 Not Out
Anne Veenendaal was in goal for thirty minutes during her hundredth international match for the Orange Ladies against New Zealand (4-1 win) on Saturday. In those two quarters, the 27-year-old jubilee only got one ball between the posts. The fact that that high ball also went in via Hannah Cotter’s stick was sour and a blot on her anniversary. “But […]
NETHERLANDS: THE NETHERLANDS FAILED TO BUILD CONFIDENCE AGAINST WORLD CHAMPIONS
The Orange Men failed to fill the sold-out Wagener Stadium on Saturday to gain extra confidence against world champion Germany. The team of coach Jeroen Delmée created a lot of opportunities against the eastern neighbors, but ultimately came no further than a 1-1 draw. The Netherlands also lacked the required killer mentality in the necessary shoot-outs, so that […]
NETHERLANDS: FLASHING ORANGE GIVES GERMANS A TWIST – 5-0
On the way to the European Championship, the Netherlands dealt a firm blow to Germany. Die Danas, finalist in the last two European title tournaments, was beaten 5-0 in the Pro League by a flashy start and a spectacular end. Paul van Ass’s team has entered a new phase in that – we say it quite […]
NETHERLANDS: KORNER SISTERS IN NK FINALS – ‘EATING LUCKY PANCAKES FOR WEEKS’
The NK Youth is about to start. And they are only too happy about that in the Korner house. Sisters Malou (Rotterdam MO18-1) and Nanouk (Rotterdam MO16-1) both play – for the first time, without counting the hall – in a national final. And that brings with it the necessary tension. “This is truly a dream come true.” The sisters are […]
NETHERLANDS: THE ORANGE OF PAUL VAN ASS- BEST START IN 46 YEARS
When he was appointed national coach, Paul van Ass expressed the ambition to create a spectacle with the Orange Ladies. After eleven international matches under his leadership, we can conclude that the super attacking game is already having an effect: the Orange is having its best start under a new trainer since 1977. The Orange Women […]
Netherlands: Delmée: ‘Maurits Visser beoogde eerste keeper op het EK’
Maurits Visser is preparing for his first tournament as the main goalkeeper for the Orange squad. The goalkeeper of Bloemendaal will receive the confidence of national coach Jeroen Delmée at the European championship in Mönchengladbach in August. Pirmin Blaak, the standard first choice under the bar in recent years, becomes a father for the first time around […]
