Netherlands: HK (H): 14 Goals At A'dam-Den Bosch, OR New Leader

The second part of the double weekend in the Tulp Hoofdklasse Heren produced a total of no less than 35 goals, just like last Thursday. Fourteen goals could be admired at the Wagener Stadium on Sunday during the game between Amsterdam and Den Bosch. The home team eventually won 8-6. Rotterdam was also on a roll with seven goals against HDM (7-2). There was no scoring at Klein Zwitserland-Kampong. After three days of play, Oranje-Rood is the new leader. After the 3-0 win over Laren, the Eindhoven team is the only team without a points loss.

Amsterdam – Den Bosch 8-6
It was a feast for the public in the Wagener Stadium. The goals fell like ripe apples. Fourteen goals were scored. At halftime Den Bosch led 4-3, but after four quarters Amsterdam stepped off the field with an 8-6 victory. Incidentally, it is only the first time in history that this result goes into the books. However, it is not the most goal-rich game ever in the Tulip big league. On March 15, 1981, Klein Zwitserland won 15-0 over Breda. The recalled Mirco Pruyser sparked the goal-fest with his second goal of the season. Both teams kept each other in balance until 5-5, after which Boris Burkhardt’s two hit penalty corners forced the decisive lead for Amsterdam. With the win, the Amsterdammers continued their strong home series. The national champion lost only one of its last 14 home matches. Den Bosch continues to struggle with top games on foreign soil. Of the last eighteen away matches with teams such as Amsterdam, Kampong, Bloemendaal, Pinoké, Rotterdam and Oranje-Rood, the Brabanders won only two, against four ties and twelve defeats.

Bloemendaal – Schaerweijde 4-0
The promoted Schaerweijde is still waiting for its first points. At ‘t Kopje, coach Razwan Ahmed’s team lost 4-0 to Bloemendaal. Teun Beins pushed twice from a penalty corner and brought his season total to four goals. Lucas Veen and Max Langer scored the other goals. In fifteen consecutive games against Schaerweij, Bloemendaal scored at least three goals each time. The victory is a boost after the defeat against Rotterdam earlier in the week. At home, Bloemendaal is now eight duels in a row unbeaten, while Schaerweijde is already fourteen games without a win.

Klein Zwitserland – Kampong 0-0
Klein Zwitserland has been a tough opponent for Kampong in recent history. For the fifth time in a row the Utrechters could not win against the team from The Hague, which had to give up the lead to Oranje-Rood. Despite the draw, Kampong is already eleven games unbeaten in the Tulip big league. With two draws in this double weekend, coach Tim Oudenaller’s team is now seventh. Klein Zwitserland occupies fourth place.

Laren – Oranje-Rood 0-3
Oranje-Rood is the new leader in the Tulip big league after the 3-0 victory over Laren. The Eindhoven goals were scored by Borja Lacalle, Pol Cabre-Verdiell Badia and Straun Walker. Ageeth Boomgaardt’s team is the only one still clear after three games and is now six games without defeat. Laren won only one of its last thirteen league matches.

Pinoké – Hurley 5-0
The 30th edition of the Forest derby between Pinoké and Hurley was a victory for the home team. It became 5-0. Miles Bukkens scored the best goal of the weekend by tapping in with his back to the goal. Moments later Hurley goalkeeper Joren Romijn took ‘revenge’ by turning away a penalty ball from Bukkens. The win marked Pinoké’s eighth win in a row over Hurley, which has been waiting thirteen games for a win in the Tulip big league.
