In the Tulp Hoofdklasse Dames, Trijntje Beljaars (hat-trick for Amsterdam) and Demi Hilterman (club record at Bloemendaal) drew attention last weekend. In the men’s side, Boris Burkhardt continues to score continuously: he is rapidly approaching the 100 major league goals mark.

SCHC striker Jip Dicke has been joined at the head of the top scorers list by her former teammate Trijntje Beljaars. The striker, who transferred from SCHC to Amsterdam this summer, scored a hat trick last Sunday against her old club Oranje-Rood (1-6 win). That was the first three-goal haul in her premier league career. Beljaars stands at five goals this season, already almost as many as during the entire previous season (six).
A special mention also deserves Demi Hilterman, Bloemendaal’s penalty corner specialist. In the historic away game at Den Bosch (1-2), she scored her fiftieth goal for the Spices at the highest level. This makes her the first player from the club to reach that milestone. A few days earlier, Hilterman had already crowned herself Bloemendaal’s all-time top scorer against Hurley, a title long held by Marcia de Goede (48 goals).

It could be a great weekend for Boris Burkhardt, the proud top scorer in the Tulp Hoofdklasse Heren. After his hat-trick last Saturday against Oranje-Rood (4-4), the Amsterdam striker already stands at eight goals, three more than his closest pursuers Struan Walker (Oranje-Rood) and Joep Troost (Pinoké). With those eight goals, Burkhardt increased his total for Amsterdam in the big league to 98 goals. On Sunday, he can complete the hundred in the home game against Laren.
