Badminton club BC ‘t Veen lost 2-6 at home against DVS Utrecht on Saturday, failing to close the gap with the subtop in Veenendaal, Regiosport Veenendaal reported.
Despite the defeat, the two points earned keep the team afloat in the battle against relegation. The hosts initially held their ground during the opening doubles matches.
Janneke Bevaart and Melissa van Brienen secured a victory in the women’s doubles to level the score early on. After that initial success, however, the visitors from Utrecht took firm control of the tie.
Wouter Fondse claimed the only other match victory for BC ‘t Veen during the afternoon.
,,Dit was misschien wel mijn beste wedstrijd ooit”, Wouter Fondse said of his singles performance, according to Regiosport Veenendaal.
The remaining matches all went the way of the Utrecht club, leaving the Veenendaal side with plenty to ponder ahead of their next fixtures.
The mixed team of WSV Dragonder Noord fell by the exact same 2-6 scoreline to DVS Utrecht. Jordan Kleiman and Maaike Rauw provided the sole Veenendaal points by winning their respective singles matches.
Because Utrecht claimed all other encounters, WSV Dragonder Noord must let the top two teams pull away for the time being. The club’s men’s team also faced defeat on the same day.
BC Mariken proved too strong for the WSV men in a 5-3 result. Luca Lunetta and Gert-Jan Enzlin earned a point in the doubles, while Lunetta added a second doubles win alongside Laurens Noorda. Noorda secured the third point in his singles match.
