RC The Smugglers is a Velserbroek rugby club whose separately typed first men’s team is connected to the completed 2025/26 Derde Klasse Heren Noordwest table.
A story worth knowing
The club says its first clubhouse hut came from Cebo in IJmuiden and was bought for one symbolic guilder. A Thursday storm in 1990 removed its roof within half an hour, and the repaired section remained the strongest part until demolition.
The account turns the old clubhouse into a record of improvised beginnings and repair.
Practical details checked against club and rugby sources.
