For many of our boys, last Sunday’s match was their last run in the elephants jersey. Every single one will be greatly missed.

Few elephants in history will go down as notoriously as Tom, who (debatably) made his elephants debut in the late 90s, and remains one of the only men in the organization’s history to play 100 matches.

What a way to bow out.

Last October, the weekend of our Dies, our annual Kick-Off Weekend took place, where usually we go somewhere near Eindhoven, this year we went a bit further. Beyond Maastricht Young Dogs and Elephants settled in army tents and a cow barn for the weekend.

On Friday evening, we started the weekend traditionally with a cantus. New members were paired with Elephants to face the consequences of one of their actions, together.

Saturday the theme "back to the future" was lived up to by teaching the young dogs and puppies (and some of the older members too) the brief history of THE Elephants. From texts out of our lustrum book, the Kick-Offcie came up with assignments to do. After this busy day program, it was time for some more drinking, food and a small auction, just like the kampioenswedstrijd. Hopefully our Young Dogs and Puppies will still be with us when that time comes.

On Sunday, after a thorough cleanup of the farm, it was finally back to travel back to Eindhoven (and to the Future) and for the Young Dogs and Puppies to play their first official rugby match! The puppies killed it, and the Young Dogs had some heavier weather against

The Dies was celebrated with a nice frituurkar and lots of beers, the weekend even ended with the constitution of our new Commissaris Olifant the 'VoBaas!

Thanks to "de Koeberg" for letting us stay on the farm! For a more comfortable stay, you can check dekoeberg.com

The 7th of June every man woman and child associated with the Elephants is invited for the Kampioenswedstrijd at the Vijfkamplaan 29. Next to having a lovely time, we will also play some matches, with the infamous Oldfants-Elephants match!
