In the men's side, table leader Struan Walker walked further away from his competitors in the away game with Pinoké. Walker scored seventeen goals outside Eindhoven, a new season record for an Oranje-Rood player.
With 22 goals, Walker is also only three goals away from a new goal record at the Eindhoven club. Former penalty corner canon Mink van der Weerden reached 24 goals in the Hoofdklasse in season 2017-2018 - the second season of the merged club -, still an unprecedented achievement.
