Sportpark Berestein - Gooi, Hilversum (SC 't Gooi, formerly HVV 't Gooi)
Netherlands, province: North Holland
22 II 2020 / SC 't Gooi - FC Hilversum 1-1 / District West I, Saturday League 3C (= NL level 8)
Note 1: Hilversumse Voetbalvereniging (HVV) 't Gooi, founded in 1905, played their football at Gemeentelijk Sportpark-Soestdijkerstraatweg between 1920 and 1989. From 1956 to 1971, 't Gooi (named SC Gooiland in 1965-1971) were a professional league side. In 1989, the club settled down at their current ground at Sportpark Berestein, which is home to no fewer than three football clubs (SV 's-Graveland / vv Altius / 't Gooi / SV Olympia '25) as well as a rugby club (RC Hilversum - stand discernible in the background in picture 13 below). In 2001, HVV 't Gooi were renamed Sportclub 't Gooi.
Note 2: the match at which the photos below were taken, was a rather special occasion: a derby game between the two former professional league clubs in Hilversum - and, moreover, the first league encounter between the two in 56 years. The last time HVV 't Gooi and FC Hilversum had been in the same division, was in 1963/64, when both were playing in the (professional) Tweede Divisie A, groundsharing at Gemeentelijk Sportpark-Soestdijkerstraatweg. 't Gooi's home game, played on Sept. 8th, 1963, finished 1-0, while the second encounter was a goalless draw. The long-awaited derby turned into a rather cagey affair, with numerous bookings - including three red cards - and 't Gooi, by then down to nine men, scoring the equaliser in the last minute of extra time (cp. pictures 14-16 below).
