Squad25 Jan 2027

9 goals for Tim van der Leij

The match ball belongs to Tim van der Leij, whose 9 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Match23 Jan 2027

RKC Waalwijk tear Jong Ajax apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 20‑0 against Jong Ajax, and it could have been more.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Tijn den Boggende takes the match ball home

5 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Squad25 Jan 2027

A day Harrie Kuster will not forget

4 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Match25 Jan 2027

RKC Waalwijk refuse to drop out of the race

Position 2, 46 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Player ratings25 Jan 2027

No sign of nerves from Tijn den Boggende at 20 — 9.97

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Tijn den Boggende did not need any: 9.97, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

The terraces25 Jan 2027

The town believes in RKC Waalwijk

Position 2, 46 points, and a ticket office that has not been this busy in years. Nobody says the word; everybody is thinking it.

Market25 Jan 2027

Dirk Baron hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what RKC Waalwijk can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings25 Jan 2027

Up for the corner, and Magnus Bech Riisnæs delivers — 7.86

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Magnus Bech Riisnæs scored, was marked 7.86, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Match19 Dec 2026

RKC Waalwijk run riot against Jong PSV

7‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Tijn den Boggende takes the match ball home

4 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Match16 Dec 2026

RKC Waalwijk out of the cup

Utrecht ended it 0‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Player ratings21 Dec 2026

Tijn den Boggende, 20, steals the show — 9.66

Marked 9.66 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad21 Dec 2026

A fracture rules Richard van der Venne out for 16 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason RKC Waalwijk will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Dirk Baron hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what RKC Waalwijk can pretend not to have heard.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Remember the name: Tijn den Boggende

He is 20, he is averaging 7.07, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

Player ratings21 Dec 2026

A goal and an assist for Jesper Uneken — 7.90

Involvement in 2 goals, from a player who spent the ninety minutes doing the thing a manager actually wants: being where the ball was going to end up. 7.90 beside his name.

Match19 Dec 2026

Nobody could stop scoring

7 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about RKC Waalwijk and Jong PSV in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Squad5 Oct 2026

A fracture rules Richard van der Venne out for 110 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason RKC Waalwijk will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad5 Oct 2026

6 saves: Niek Schiks was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Tim van der Leij, 20, steals the show — 7.80

Marked 7.80 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Match3 Oct 2026

RKC Waalwijk make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now RKC Waalwijk have 3 straight wins of it.

Match3 Oct 2026

Another one collected away from home

4 on the bounce on the road for RKC Waalwijk. The coaches leave early, arrive at unlovely grounds in the dark, and keep coming home with three points.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Niek Schiks in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at RKC Waalwijk this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match3 Oct 2026

RKC Waalwijk get the job done against ADO Den Haag

A 2‑1 win over ADO Den Haag, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Time is catching up with Michiel Kramer

Everybody at RKC Waalwijk saw it before anybody said it, which is how this always goes. At 37 the decline is real and measurable — 3 points — and the only question left is how the club handles somebody it owes a great deal to.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Tim Brobbey kept it short after the 2‑1 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

In brief
