Rotterdam keeps A'dam in check, Hurley win over Tilburg

Rotterdam - Amsterdam 0-0
After Den Bosch, Rotterdam also held Amsterdam to 0-0 at their own Schouten Zekerheid Stadium. As a result, coach Jorge Nolte's team is unbeaten in four consecutive home games. Amsterdam, with the returning Stella van Gils in the squad, had an excellent chance to win in the fourth quarter. A foul on Trijntje Beljaars was punished with a penalty stroke. However, goalkeeper Kelsey Bing turned away Imke Verstraeten's effort. The draw did mean that Amsterdam remained without defeat for the sixth time in a row.

Hurley - Tilburg 4-2
At the bottom of the Tulp Hoofdklasse, Hurley did fine business against direct competitors Tilburg. At the Amsterdamse Bos, the matches ended 4-2 in favour of the home team. For Hurley, Margot van Hecking Colenbrander scored twice from a penalty corner. This brings the corner specialist's total to six goals. Cis van der Salm, from a corner kick, and Romée Corver were also prolific for the home team, who recorded their second win in the last five league matches. The returning Mikki Roberts, from a penalty stroke, and Carmen Victoria, after good individual action, scored for Tilburg. The Brabanders lost for the fifth time in a row and went down in 10 of their last 12 matches. Hurley moves up to spot nine through the victory.

Den Bosch - Oranje-Rood 2-0
Den Bosch had a tough time against last placed Oranje-Rood. Only in the fourth quarter did Joosje Burg break the spell by tapping in from close range. Just before time, Frédérique Matla cashed in on a penalty stroke. It was her 199th goal in the Tulp Hoofdklasse. The national champion kept the zero for the third time this season. Orange-Rood, on the other hand, failed to score in five of the last seven league matches. It was also the fourth consecutive defeat in an away game in which the Eindhoven formation failed to score. That equals a negative club record.

HDM - Kampong 0-3
Kampong remains on the trail of leaders SCHC. The Utrecht formation won 3-0 over HDM in The Hague. All goals came after half-time. Sosha Benninga, prolific three times last week, opened the scoring. This score remained on the scoreboard until the closing stages. First, Bente van der Veldt hit the target, then Guusje Moes poked in the 0-3 from a corner, and that within two minutes. This was Kampong's eighth win of the season and fourth in a row. HDM suffered its third defeat in the last five games.

Pinoké - HGC 2-1
Pinoké is steadily climbing the league table. With two goals, Lana Kalse claimed the leading role in the match against HGC. The club's top scorer now stands at seven goals this season. Faye Muijderman scored against for HGC, which is now six games without a win. Moreover, the team from Wassenaar has yet to win on foreign soil this season. HGC drops from ninth to tenth place. Pinoké is doing better, having gone five games without defeat and climbing to fifth place.
