After Saturday's 3-2 win at the Wagener Stadium, Den Bosch finished the job on Sunday with a convincing 3-0 victory at home. Goals by captain Pien Sanders, Teuntje de Wit and Joosje Burg decided the matches at the Oosterplas.

The 3-0 was Den Bosch's second-largest ever home victory over the rival from Amsterdam. Only in the 2002-2003 season did the Brabanders ever win by an even bigger margin: 5-1 on the last round of the regular league.
In the final, Den Bosch will meet the also scoring SCHC. It will be the fifth final ever for the Bilthoven-based team, but they have failed to win every time so far. Den Bosch, on the other hand, has already won the title 22 times. The battle for the gold erupts on 24 May, with the return on 29 May.
