KORFBAL – In the derby of the north, against the Frisian LDODK, DOS’46 from Nijeveen suffered a narrow defeat tonight. In an exciting game, DOS completely relinquished a big lead, allowing LDODK to call itself ‘The best of the North’ for a while: 19-21.
DOS got off to a fantastic start and took a 6-0 lead in no time. The team, where trainer Herman van Gunst was absent due to the flu, did not like the opponent very much and seemed supreme. It took LDODK a moment to recover from the shock, but then gradually came closer and closer. After 25 minutes a halftime score of 11-8 was on the scoreboard.
