Marcelien de Koning and Lobke Berkhout, who took their first World Championship victory in San Francisco in the 470, have been named Sports Team 2005. The award was presented to them in the Amsterdam RAI last night. The two person dinghy sailors surprisingly beat PSV and the Dutch national baseball team.Nearly all the players of the PSV squad had made the trip to Amsterdam. Head coach Guus Hiddink had even cancelled coaching Ronaldos team in the Match Against Poverty in order to attend the sports gala night 2005. But the ruling Dutch champions, who won both the title and the cup and were among the four best European teams of the 2004-2005 campaign, were eventually left empty-handed.
