Timo Boers has captured the top scorer title in the Tulp Hoofdklasse for the first time in his career. Den Bosch's young defender maintained his lead over the competition during the final round of play last weekend.

Timo Boers' converted penalty stroke in the home game with Amsterdam meant his 28th goal in this league. Because his direct competitor Boris Burkhardt (Amsterdam) failed to score and Pinoké attacker Miles Bukkens stuck to one goal against Bloemendaal, the 2024-2025 top scorer's title goes to the 21-year-old defender from Den Bosch.

Boers ended up one goal short of matching Piet-Hein Geeris' club record (29 goals in 1997-1998). However, he did become Den Bosch's second top scorer ever in Hoofdklasse history after Geeris. Noting that Geeris had to share his top scorer title with Bram Lomans and Richard de Snaijer at the time.

Incidentally, Bukkens did set a new club record at Pinoké with his 27 goals. He scored one more this season than South African Justin Reid-Ross did in 2011-2012.
