Verlies creëert een mooi nieuw startpunt voor JB1

Na een goede start van het seizoen werden de heren van Albatros JB1 ontvangen in Huizen door Prima Donna Kaas Huizen JB2. Na een vroege binnenkomst hadden de spelers genoeg tijd om even goed warm te spelen en in te slaan voor ze eindelijk mochten beginnen met de wedstrijd.

Promotion at last!
