The football season in the second division has also started. Royal HFC defeated Spakenburg 2-1 at home. And Jong FC Volendam had nothing to say when visiting reigning champion VV Katwijk (7-0).
Koninklijke HFC finished third last season and is again one of the top teams in the highest amateur class this season. Thanks to two hits by Sietse Brandsma, the team from Haarlem takes the first three points of the season. Floris van der Linden scored against Spakenburg just before time. The attacker played for Telstar in the past.
Earwash
Young FC Volendam had a less fortunate start to the competition. Although VV Katwijk is out on paper the most difficult game of the season. The team of Telstar assistant coach Anthony Correia convincingly conquered the amateur league title last season. Within half an hour, the eel farmers were already trailing 3-0.
Later today, AFC will take on De Treffers in Gelderland. The team from Amsterdam strengthened itself last summer with FC Volendam midfielder Kevin Visser.
