Bloemendaal lead after win over Amsterdam, derbies undecided
On the tenth round in the Tulp Hoofdklasse Men, Bloemendaal not only won the Classic but also took over the lead from the Amsterdammers who were treated to a 4-1 defeat. The Brabant and The Hague derbies ended undecided on Sunday. Both Den Bosch-Oranje-Rood and HDM-Klein Zwitserland ended 2-2.
BLOEMENDAAL - AMSTERDAM 4-1
For the eleventh time in a row, Bloemendaal won the Classic. It was 4-1 at 't Kopje for coach Michel van den Heuvel's team despite falling behind due to a goal by Floris Middendorp from a penalty corner. Two of Bloemendaal's four goals came courtesy of Marc Miralles. The Spaniard has now scored 13 goals. Amsterdam suffered its first defeat of the season. This not only ended a run of twelve premier league games without a loss, but the Amsterdammers also lost the lead in the Tulp Hoofdklasse to Bloemendaal, which has now lost 23 league games in a row.
DEN BOSCH - ORANGE-ROOD 2-2
The Brabant derby had no winner. At the Oosterplas, Den Bosch and Oranje-Rood drew 2-2. For the eighth time in a row, the Bosch formation failed to win against Oranje-Rood. With his eleventh goal of the season, Timo Boers saved Den Bosch from defeat in the closing stages. Coach Nanco Jansonius' team kept its unbeaten status and is already eleven matches without defeat. Oranje-Rood is already four matches without a win and lost ten points in that series. As a result, Omar Schlingemann's team dropped from fifth to seventh place.
ROTTERDAM - SCHC 4-1
For the seventh time in a row, Rotterdam won the mutual encounter with SCHC. With two goals before half-time, Olivier Hortensius put the Rotterdammers on track for victory. Hortensius' tally now stands at six goals, a personal record. In the 2021-2022 season, he reached five goals at the time. The other Rotterdam goals came from Jeroen Hertzberger and Timme van der Heijden. Cédric Terwel scored against for SCHC, which is now waiting 35 matches for an away win in the Tulp Hoofdklasse Men.
HDM - KLEIN ZWITSERLAND 2-2
Like the Brabant derby, the Hague derby had no winner. HDM and Klein Zwitserland shared the points after the 2-2. For the fourth time in a row, the matches ended in a draw. A win would have given HDM its 200th win in the Tulp Hoofdklasse. For HDM, Chris Taberima scored twice. The club's top scorer lifted his season total to 11 goals. With this number, he accounts for just over half of HDM's goals (20). Despite the draw, Klein Zwitserland is already four league games without defeat.
