Top scorers: Struan Walker unstoppable outside Eindhoven
For the first time this season, SCHC midfielder Yibbi Jansen has entered at the head of the top scorer list in the Tulp Hoofdklasse Women. For the men, Orange-Rood attacker Struan Walker returned from international duty: he immediately asserted himself with two goals and can again call himself top scorer.
Tulp Hoofdklasse Women
After fifteen match rounds, SCHC leads the top scorer list in the Tulp Hoofdklasse Women with two players. Jip Dicke added another goal to her total against Hurley (7-1 win) and now stands at 15 goals, equalling her record production in the past two full seasons. Dicke was joined by teammate Yibbi Jansen, who notched her first hat-trick of the season against Hurley.
In the sub-top, Trijntje Beljaars reached double figures through a goal against her old club ORANJE-ROOD (6-0). That was a special moment for the Amsterdam striker, as she has already equalled her personal record from the 2023-2024 season. In that season, she reached ten goals in the SCHC shirt.

Tulp Hoofdklasse Men
Striker Struan Walker was missing from Oranje-Rood in the first two match rounds of 2026 due to international obligations, but the Hoofdklasse has since noticed that the Scotland international is back on his feet. Walker accounted for two of Eindhoven's three goals in the away match against national champions Amsterdam (3-3), taking his production to 18 goals, one more than Boris Burkhardt (Amsterdam) and Joep Troost (Pinoké).
There is something funny about Walker's goals. He scored no less than 14 of his 18 goals outside Eindhoven, making him by far the most scoring player in away games this season. The Scot failed to score this season only on a visit to Klein Zwitserland (1-1). Eleven of Oranje-Rood's last eighteen away goals came from his stick.
