Andy is based at the VRA club at Amstelveen, in the Metropolitan area of Amsterdam. The town is named after the River Amstel and not the beer! VRA were chosen for the improvement programme as they are just one of two


clubs able to accommodate international matches, and one of just four with grass tracks. The club hosted a match between South Africa and Kenya during the 1999 World Cup


VRA was founded in 1914 after the


cricketing merger of the clubs Volharding (1889), R.A.P (1887) and Amstels (1885).
