After the midweek round of play in the Jupiler League, in which Young PSV was 'off', the pledges resume the league with an away game against RKC Waalwijk. On Saturday evening, Young PSV will host Mandemakers Stadion in Waalwijk at 8 p.m. for the first Brabant derby of the season.
First of twelve Brabant derbies for Young PSV
In total, Young PSV will play no less than twelve Brabant derbies. The first is an away match against RKC Waalwijk. The Waalwijkers experienced an unpleasant year in all respects last season. After relegation from the Eredivisie, RKC finished in last place in the Jupiler League. At the same time, there was personal suffering in the form of the loss of general manager Remco Oversier's little daughter and the death of former chairman Jan Snoeren. Between those dark clouds, the sun slowly began to shine again. For example, the team, which has a new logo since this season, remained unbeaten in the first two rounds of play.
Still unbeaten against RKC
Last season, Young PSV and RKC Waalwijk met for the first time. On November 24, 2014, at sports complex De Herdgang, it was 3-1 for the team of then coach Darije Kalezic of Young PSV. Many players who were on the pitch at the time are no longer there. However, goal scorer Clint Leemans, who made it 3-0 in the 77th minute at the time, is. Later in the season, on May 1 of this year, it became 2-2. On behalf of Young PSV, Steven Bergwijn, among others, scored then, but his goal was undone in the final minute by Frank van Mosselveld. Psv U21 is still unbeaten in meetings with RKC Waalwijk. Whether that is still the case after this weekend, we will know on Saturday night.
