The relegation cracker Blauw-Wit against Groen Geel has settled in favor of the korfball club from the Wormer (19-21). It meant the first victory for Groen Geel on Amsterdam soil, but the minimal profit yields little in the fight for enforcement. “This is a disappointment when you are so close.”
With the support of a large crowd of supporters, Groen Geel started the match in Amsterdam-West very well. There was a constant lead for the team of coach Christiaan Germans. Both teams went to the dressing rooms halfway with a 7-11 halftime score.

In the event of a tie, the team from Amsterdam will win, because of the mutual result.
