Women
1 – 2
Den Bosch D1
Amsterdam D1
Den Bosch women lost a home match against Amsterdam on Saturday for the first time in three years in the Tulp Hoofdklasse (1-2). This ended one of the longest unbeaten home series in history.
The 1-2 against Amsterdam was Den Bosch’s first home league defeat since the 1-3 against SCHC on 11 September 2022. Since that loss, the Boschians had remained unbeaten for 32 home matches in a row, a series of 29 wins and three draws. Only Amsterdam (2-2 in 2023), Kampong (1-1 in 2024) and SCHC (1-1 in 2025) held a point in that period after visiting the Oosterplas.
That run of 32 home matches without a loss was the second-longest series in Den Bosch’s premier league history. Only in the period 2010-2013, under then coach Raoul Ehren, the black-and-yellow formation remained longer without a home defeat: 35 duels.
Record in hands of HGC
In the history of the Tulp Hoofdklasse Dames, only two teams ever set an even longer series of home games without a loss. Between 1981 and 1985, Amsterdam’s women proved unbeatable in 43 consecutive matches on home turf (35 wins and eight draws).
HGC did even better. That team did not lose a single match in 45 home games in the period 1986-1990: forty wins and five draws. That is still the record in the big league.
