Tulp Hoofdklasse Women

Amsterdam newcomer Trijntje Beljaars is the surprising leader in the top scorers' ranking after six match rounds. The striker, who came over from SCHC, increased her production to seven last Sunday with two goals against HDM (0-6 win), one more than SCHC striker Jip Dicke.

Beljaars has thus already surpassed her production from the complete previous season. In 2024-2025, she reached six hits in 22 games at SCHC.

Amsterdam attacker Boris Burkhardt did not score for the first time this season in the away match against HDM (1-2). This allowed his pursuers to narrow the gap. Struan Walker, the Scottish striker of Oranje-Rood and Joep Troost (Pinoké) did so by scoring twice each in their direct matches. They are now on seven goals.

Walker's production deserves another separate mention. Indeed, the newcomer has made an excellent start to his adventure in Eindhoven. In the past, only Mink van der Weerden (2017-2018) and Sam Lane (2023-2024) scored as many goals for the Eindhoven side after the first six matches from the league start.
