The final regular rounds of play are on the menu in the major leagues. In the upcoming weekend, the spotlight is mainly on the men’s competition. Rotterdam icon Jeroen Hertzberger will say goodbye and the direct relegation team will be announced. Of course, all big league matches can also be seen live this week on Viaplay.
It will be a historic field hockey Sunday. The last game of Jeroen Hertzberger in the shirt of his Rotterdam. After 22 years, the legend waves goodbye to his team. This happens in the match against Klein Zwitserland. The NOS witnesses the farewell of ‘Hertz’. Studio Sport will broadcast an item about him at 6:10 p.m. on NPO1. Field hockey.nl is also present at the Hazelaarweg for a final salute to the all-time big league top scorer.
The same goes for the cracker between Nijmegen and Hurley. They host a fascinating denouement of the relegation battle on Sunday. The story is simple: if Nijmegen wins, Hurley will be relegated. If Hurley takes at least one point, Nijmegen will be relegated to the Promotion League. This game can be followed live via our liveblog and the stories on Instagram.
PROGRAM 1
Speaking of which: on Sunday we will be at Push. In Breda, the home team’s best women’s team plays against relegated MOP. A nice appetizer for the meeting between Push’s men and HGC. For the team from Wassenaar will most probably welcome none other than Olympic champion Seve van Ass. The number eleven of the competition really needs that helping hand; there are only three games left to play in the Promotion League.
Of course, we don’t forget about Saturday, either. We are in the Tulip Hoofdklasse Dames at Oranje Rood- Rotterdam. OR played itself safe last week, Rotterdam is preparing for the play-outs. We also visit the Under 18 boys of Pinoké, who play the topper against Victoria in the national youth. We will be happy to give you the highlights of this match as well, in our stories.
