Groninger Dagbladbeker 1911-1950


One of the oldest of the traditional pre-season tournaments in the Netherlands, the Groninger Dagbladbeker gathered (most of) the best clubs from the northern provinces (Drenthe, Friesland and Groningen) at the various grounds in the Martinistad.
It was not much frequented by clubs from other parts of the country: apart from three teams formed from interned British battalions during the first World War, no "outsiders" entered until A.G.O.V.V. from Apeldoorn and Z.A.C. from Zwolle (both regular participants in the tournament for the AROL-Beker in Amsterdam) did so in 1936 (and met in the final).
Only after World War II, when the format was changed into a single round robin league competition, clubs from the western and eastern regions took part regularly, none more successfully than Hengelo, winners of the last three tournaments and thus the fifth and last trophy; the first four had all remained in Groningen, Be Quick winning the first in 1925, Velocitas the second in 1928, and G.V.A.V. the third and fourth in 1940 and 1943 respectively.
