After a forced hiatus of two years, the long series of Dutch Championships for veterans organized by Badminton Netherlands in collaboration with BC Amersfoort could be continued last weekend. Both days were a bit shorter than usual, but there was just as fanatical fighting for the points and the fun next to the track was no less than usual for large parts of the weekend.
Unfortunately there were three dropouts, but fortunately physio Martin ter Plegt did not have to deal with serious injuries. After federation chairman Jan Helmond had awarded all the medals on Sunday afternoon (see the overview of all prize winners below), the Wim Top Trophy was still on the table. This challenge cup is awarded at every NVK to a participant who (in whatever way) has strongly committed to veterans badminton in the Netherlands. This time the prize went to Robbert Kraag, who was responsible for the organization of the Dutch veterans competition for many years. He is going to stop doing that now, but the “veteran community” is very grateful to Robbert for his many years of dedication!
