02 Apr 2001

able to improve on their current healthy 13th place before the end of the
season. |

silence out of respect for Volendam victims |

|
| All
Premier and First division matches between 27th January and February 2nd

| Volendam
youth players in fire disaster? |
04 Jan 2001
|
| A
fire in a pub, which rocked the small town of Volendam on New Year's Eve,
has already killed 10 people while many others lie seriously injured in
intensive care units throughout Holland. Some of the injured may well be
members of the town's youth football teams (Volendam has a total of 83!
teams) and the Dutch FA are giving the club (and the close knit community)
time to get over the shock. No 1st team or reserve team players are
involved but some of the injured could well be members of the club's youth
squads. Volendam FC are currently 3rd in the Toto Division and their first
match of the 2nd half of the season will undoubtedly be of special
significance for the whole community. |

10 Dec 2000
|
| Volendam
have assured themselves of a place in the end of season playoffs to

Misha Saldend the score for the young team in the 35th minute (at
the end of last season all the 'old crew' left leaving a hungry group of
young players under a new, untried trainer and little money. Playing with
nothing to lose they have now everything to play for! Nils Kokmeijer
scored twice in the 2nd half (51st and 56th minute) to guarantee trainer
Wisman a successful first season before it's halfway through. Ivan
Tzvetkov got one back for Veendam, but the damage was done. |
