In the first half it did not look like the combination team from Emmen and Zwartemeer would lose the Eredivisie match. The men of coach Harrie Weerman, who unnecessarily handed over the victory against top team Quintus a week ago, led 11-14 against Aalsmeer 2 at halftime. E & O/Hurry-Up had fought their way back into the game after trailing 7-3 and went on and on.
