Bloemendaal beats Pinoké, victory Oranje-Rood over HDM
Bloemendaal's men's team did not let themselves be surprised on the eleventh matchday. The unbeaten leader in the Tulp Hoofdklasse won 3-2 against Pinoké in the Amsterdamse Bos. HDM made it exciting against Oranje-Rood on Saturday, but the Eindhoven team eventually won 6-4.
PINOKÉ - BLOEMENDAAL 2-3
The statistics did not speak in Pinoké's favor. The Behemoths won only two of the previous 22 duels with Bloemendaal and this time they failed to win as well. Bloemendaal walked away with the full prize at the Amsterdamse Bos. The winning goal came off the stick of Nathan Ephraums. For the Australian it was his eighth goal of the season. Bloemendaal remains the unbeaten leader in the Tulp Hoofdklasse Men. The team of coach Michel van den Heuvel is now 24 big league games without defeat. Pinoké suffered its fifth defeat in eleven league games and third in the last four. Miles Bukkens scored his fifteenth goal of the season for Pinoké.
ORANGE-RED - HDM 6-4
Oranje-Rood seemed on their way to an easy victory over HDM, but things got tense in the closing stages as the team from The Hague fought back from a 5-1 deficit to 5-4. Thibeau Stockbroekx's second goal just before time for Oranje-Rood ended all tension. The Belgian is now the most scoring foreigner in the shirt of the Eindhoven club. With 45 goals, he passed his compatriot Thomas Briels (44 goals) in the rankings. It was the first three-peat for Oranje-Rood after four league games without a win. HDM is now three games without a win. The Hague formation won only one of its last six games.
