Winners of Belgian and Dutch Supercup cross their ways in CEV Volleyball Cup first round
2016 CEV Volleyball Cup / 2016 CEV Challenge Cup - Women
Gent, Belgium, October 27, 2015. VDK GENT Dames just claimed the 2015 edition of the Belgian Supercup against Asterix KIELDRECHT by recording a straight-set victory.
In a difficult game VDK GENT Dames eventually had the upper hand against a very young Asterix KIELDRECHT that is currently rebuilding its team for the future. VDK GENT Dames have now claimed the Belgian Supercup four times, as this year’s victory follows on those from 2013, 2011 and 2009.
Since 2008 up until their last clash, VDK GENT Dames and Asterix KIELDRECHT have played 35 matches against each other, Asterix winning 25 times and VDK GENT 10 times, but these victories coincided with the seizing of a number of domestic trophies such as four Supercups, the Belgian Cup as well as the country’s national league.
VDK GENT Dames will be playing VC SNEEK for their first European match in the 2016 CEV Volleyball Cup - Women at the EDUGO Arena in Oostakker this coming Wednesday, October 28.
VC SNEEK started the 2015-2016 season by winning the Dutch Supercup, so this adds an extra aura and flavour to the upcoming clash. Also the losers of the respective Supercups, SLIEDRECHT Sport and Asterix KIELDRECHT will be crossing their ways in European competitions. They play their first match on November 11 in the 2016 edition of the CEV Volleyball Challenge Cup. This past weekend SLIEDRECHT Sport and VC SNEEK played five dramatic sets with SLIEDRECHT making amends for their loss in the Dutch Supercup from two weeks ago.
As for VDK GENT Dames and VC SNEEK, these teams participated in a friendly tournament held in early September in Frasnes-les-Anvaing, Belgium, so they know each other very well and an exciting game can be expected for Wednesday night.
