1 - With its 4-0 win over HGC, SCHC secured first place in the regular league. The team succeeded twice before in the past: in the 2013-14 and 2022-2023 seasons.

4 - Tilburg relegated from the Tulp Hoofdklasse after four seasons due to the draw in and against Rotterdam (1-1). The Brabant team promoted to the highest level for the first time in 2022.

6 - For the sixth time in the last seven seasons, Pinoké's women finished the regular league in fifth place. Only last year that did not happen: then coach Daan Sabel's team finished third.

6 - For the first time since 2022-2023 and for the sixth time in premier league history, SCHC finished a season without a home defeat. The frontrunner recorded seven wins and played four draws (goal figures 40-11).

6 - Amsterdam also remained unbeaten in its last away game of the season (against Pinoké, 1-3). Coach Jesse Mahieu's formation won nine of the 11 away matches and played two draws. It is the sixth season in history that Amsterdam has not lost a single away game, the last being in 2004-2005.

10 - Amsterdam attacker Felice Albers is in double figures in terms of number of assists after last weekend. She gave the tenth decisive pass of this season against Pinoké (1-3 win). Only Pien Dicke (SCHC) has more assists (11).

21 - The battle for the top scorer title next weekend during the final match round will be a battle between Yibbi Jansen (SCHC) and Frédérique Matla (Den Bosch), with SCHC striker Jip Dicke the most dangerous outsider. Jansen and Matla are both on 21 goals after 21 matches, Dicke on 19.

29 - Den Bosch beat Kampong on their own pitch (3-2) to remain unbeaten in a home match against the Utrecht team for the 29th time in a row. That series is the longest unbeaten home series against one specific opponent in all premier league history.

50 - Demi Hilterman's winning goal in the away match against HDM (1-2) was her 50th hit penalty corner in the Hoofdklasse, all scored in service to Bloemendaal.

250 - SCHC's match against HGC was SCHC's 250th home game in the Hoofdklasse, and the five hundredth in total. Hurley also reached this milestone last weekend, at home against Oranje-Rood (1-2).

3 - For the third match round in a row, Den Bosch defender Timo Boers scored at least three goals in one game. After four goals against Schaerweijde and three against Hurley, the penalty corner specialist made it three against Kampong on Sunday.

4 - The result at Kampong-Den Bosch (6-5) is quite rare in the Hoofdklasse. It is only the fourth time in history that this result was on the scoreboard at a match, after Amsterdam-HGC (1999), Kampong-HDM (2001) and HGC-Laren (2009).

3 - Pinoké is the third team after Oranje-Rood and Rotterdam to secure a ticket for the play-offs. It is the third time after 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 that the Steekneuzen can compete for the national title.

8 - Boers now stands at eight hat-tricks in his premier league career. That is one more than the club record long held by Piet-Hein Geeris.

9 - Boers is the only player to score in all nine match rounds after the winter break. The Den Bosch defender scored 18 goals in that series.

19 - Jip Janssen produced five goals in the cracker against Den Bosch and already scored nineteen goals against the Bossche team in the Hoofdklasse, more than against any other opponent.

23 - The productivity of Janssen and Boers increased the number of hat-tricks this season to 23, the highest number since season 2016-2017 (then also 23).

30 - Boers now stands at 30 goals in this premier league season. That means a new club record for a Den Bosch player. The previous record was held by Piet-Hein Geeris (29 goals in 1997-1998).

36 - In the last four top games Den Bosch played on foreign soil, a total of no less than 36 goals were scored. That is an average of nine (!) goals per match: 8-6 Amsterdam, 3-3 Pinoké, Bloemendaal 2-3 and 6-5 Kampong.

83 - Rotterdam scored twice in the lost home game against Amsterdam (2-3) and now stands at 83 goals in this season. That is already an improvement on the club record from 2016-2017, when the team scored 82 times in 22 matches.
