Estiaan Kriek new goalkeeper of promoted Laren

The South African closing post will play at Laren next season. In the past hockey year at Kampong, he was the stand-in for Irishman David Harte. In April, for instance, he was under the crossbar three times during the EHL Finals in Den Bosch, where Kampong eventually lost the battle for bronze to Rotterdam.

At Laren, Kriek, who made 38 appearances for the South African national team, is the successor to Joppe Boerstra, who quit.
