All about the girls

It's sad to see the end of a good thing. The Admirals were for all intents and purposes a small team in a sport that's hardly followed in the Netherlands, apart from a small, rabid fanbase. And it's for this group of people, the team decided to bid farewell one last time.

(Well... the team... just one of the popular star players and the head coach made the trip overseas, so you can't really speak of the team at all.)

When it all comes down to it, it's truly all about the girls. By far the most popular sights at the scene were the members of the Admirals Dance Team, who performed one last time at the venue. And by far the biggest pop of the night was for the popular cheerleaders' manager. And at times it was a pretty emotional experience.

The night also displayed who the Admirals as an organization were most grateful to. The party was not just for the team and front office people (yes don't forget about them),
and not just for the fans. The organization paid tribute to a group of young women, who quite rightly took center stage, and danced the night away.
