“I look back on a very nice year,” Maikel van der Werff responds very enthusiastically. The former player of clubs such as FC Volendam, PEC Zwolle and Vitesse has just recovered a bit from Hollandia’s promotion party. “We celebrated it as it should be. It started on the field and then the dressing room, canteen and we ended it festively in the city.”

Lord and master

The football club from Hoorn defeated opponent HBC 2-0 in front of its own audience on Sunday. Earlier that week, Hollandia won 0-1 in Heemstede. “We were lord and master and that gives a very nice feeling. Especially after such a long season, where we have grown enormously as a group.”
