“On Friday, October 31, the tournament committee of the Rozenburg Badminton Club (RBC) Sowat organized a Halloween tournament. Because a regional competition was also being played, it was pleasantly busy in the sports hall.”, said a spokesperson for Sowat, setting the stage for an evening filled with competition and camaraderie.

The players, both competition regulars and tournament participants, gave their best, with each point fiercely contested. But amid the intensity, there was an atmosphere of fun and laughter. The average number of points became an anecdote in itself, reflecting the spirit of the event.

Among the ladies, Jolanda took home the coveted Sowat towel, while Robin secured the same among the men. These weren’t just ordinary towels; they were collector’s items, hotly contested and well-earned.

After thematches, Sponsor Kozijn&zo ensured the players were well taken care of, providing delicious snacks and refreshing drinks. The afterparty at the Rozenburcht was just as lively as the games themselves.
