ODIJK After years of absence, the club championships for the youth of SV Odijk took place last weekend.
“On Saturday, the youngsters in yellow competed against each other and the youth in green. Pools were created so that everyone could play a lot of tennis. The girls and the three oldest boys were allowed to compete against each other in the mixed, in addition to their singles,” says Anneke Westhoff of the tennis club.
“The day started out friendly and pleasant, but as the matches progressed you could see more and more healthy tension developing. The pots were evenly matched and provided long matches with many tiebreaks. Groen even ended in a two-hour bloodcurdling final in the burning sun. Every now and then a jug of water over the head provided enough refreshment to fight on until the last ball.”
OLD DUTCH GAMES
,,After a wonderful day with not only tennis but also traditional Dutch games along the court, Danique finished first in the yellow girls and Joya second. In the yellow boys, Olivier came out as the winner and Maurits second. In the green, Melle was the winner and Casper second.”
THEME ORANGE
“Sunday was the day for orange and red. The theme was orange and you could see that from the many orange shirts, dresses and caps. There was no lack of support either: parents, grandparents, friends and girlfriends all came to cheer. Or did they come to play a game of shuffleboard? While a few short matches were planned in red, many matches were played in orange in a beginners’ pool and two advanced pools. And what could be more fun than ending with the Tower of Pisa of pancakes that Mariette had baked? The award ceremony! In red, Sara came first and Lulu came second. In orange, Teije won in the beginners’ pool and then had to admit defeat to Boaz. Boaz became club champion and Lena came second,” according to Westhoff.
“Everyone went home tired but satisfied. These were successful club championships!”
