Looking for a place where there are Dutch and Internationals playing sports together, drink together and go to parties together? Look no further, come to Student Rugby Club Thor.

Why rugby?
Thanks to the transnational culture of rugby, our sport is the perfect link between the Dutch and the international students. With players from England, Ireland, France and many other countries, you will find it easy to feel at home at our club. In our 3 gents teams and 1 ladies team there is a place for everyone on every level. Even for the people who have never played rugby, there is a separate team playing in a freshmen competition. This way everyone can play the sport at his own level!

Katzy has been asking me to write a half year review for the last two months and since he is so excited for it. I decided to write this literal piece of art.

The year started with the Owee and around 20 Jonghe Honden joined SRC Thor during it. We got the feedback from our new members that they wanted to join Thor when they saw a trailer disguised as a boat and heard Thorren sing the well known Rugby songs during the Oweeparade. Concert at Schie and miniThortober were lit and the Owee was over before we knew it. During September there were activities every Tuesday and Thursday for our Jonghe Honden and Puppies. The highlight of these activities was of course the Jonghe Honden weekend. The jonghe honden went to the wild rovers and slept there beside the Rugby pitch, went out in the always booming city center of Doetinchem and played their first match! After the JH Weekend it was time for the inauguration. And at the end of September 48 new members were inaugurated and 63 students in total had joined Thor.

SRC Thor became 55 years old on the 5th of November and the celebration in honor of the 11th lustrum started on the 10th of November!

To celebrate Thor being 55 years old, the gents played a much anticipated match against the Old-Engineers. It was a little worrying that a large proportion of the players were hungover, one guy was in the hospital just hours prior, and another was still sleeping. To make matters worse, this was a game we couldn’t lose, otherwise we would be paying for post-match beer.

The game started incredibly physical, with big tackles, messy rucks, and questionable scrumming tactics. But despite the lack of experience, we managed to run through a few early tries, mainly stemming from our speedsters Conny and Pim. The students made sure the Old-Engineers would score a few tries, just to make them feel better about themselves, which resulted in a 31-22 win to the real Thor.
