 at the galgenwaard about 50 km south of amsterdam, for dutch 1st division fc utrecht, 5th vs fc groningen, 7th. 

these are 2 relatively recently formed clubs being created in 1970 and 1971 respectively. 

utrecht have never been relegated from the dutch top flight thus far, . 

as for groningen, , to be frank, i can't think of anything particularly interesting to tell you about.

 ft honours even and a one all draw in a typical end of season game in which both teams looked as if they were already on the beach. 

home side took lead on 15 and one nil up half time. 

penalty for gronigen 60 mins roughly. 

home side looked better in last 3rd but gronigen had more possession. 

my tramsport back to the central station  was a bus full to bursting point  blareing out very loud techno beats whilst whizzing round corners at break neck speed. 

a bit like a modern day planet earth in leeds on wheels, although not nearly as sweaty. 

and the bus driver's music was probably better too.
