FOOTBALL – One more round for the Saturday amateurs and then the regular season is over. Who still has a chance at the championship, which teams will try to promote through the post-competition and which Drenthe club will we see fighting relegation in the post-competition in the coming weeks?
We are already taking stock and describe here what can still happen on the last day of play.
2nd class J: DZOH
For third divisionist ACV and the top divisions HZVV and Noordscheschut there is nothing more at stake today than the honor. The highest playing club that is still in the race for a prize is DZOH, the club that plays in the 2nd class J.
The team of trainer Roy Stroeve lost last week to the only remaining competitor, Gorecht, and will in principle have to win this afternoon in the home game against SC Elim. Due to the much better goal difference (+9 compared to Gorecht), a victory already seems sufficient to be able to celebrate. If that succeeds, DZOH will be promoted to the 1st class for the second time in its existence.
FC Meppel, Gramsbergen and LTC compete for two post-competition places
When DZOH becomes champion, Gorecht goes to the post-competition. It is not yet known which two teams will be added. There are still three contenders for two post-competition places: LTC, Gramsbergen and FC Meppel.
The meadow
De Weide can still avoid the post-competition against relegation. Then the Hoogeveners themselves have to win at Drenthina and even then it remains to be seen. Competitors The Knickerbockers and Oosterwolde have to forfeit points.
3 D: Who will accompany ZZVV and Ommen in the post-competition
It promises to be an interesting denouement in the 3rd division D, where Nieuwleusen has been champion for a long time and finished at the top in all periods with a win this afternoon. The question then is: which teams will take over those period titles from Nieuwleusen. Two clubs are already known: ZZVV and Ommen. ZZVV takes over the third period title from Nieuwleusen and Ommen the second. It is still unclear who will take the first. That will be the highest in the final ranking, without a period title. Two clubs are eligible for this: Hoogeveen and FC Klazienaveen. Hoogeveen needs a win at ZZVV this afternoon. In that case Klazienaveen has no chance. If Hoogeveen loses points and Klazienaveen wins against CSVC, that club is certain of the post-competition.
Which club is directly relegated: SVN’60 or Fit Boys?
BSVV has been sentenced in the 3rd class D to play relegation football in the post-competition. SVN’69 and Fit Boys decide who will be relegated directly. Fit Boys has the worst papers, with 7 points from 25 matches. SVN’69 is on 8 points. SVN’69 has to visit Hollandscheveld this afternoon and Fit Boys plays at BSVV.
4C: ONR plays championship game against Niekerk
In the 4th class C, the decision will be made this afternoon in the title fight. Then the numbers 2 and 1 play against each other. In Roden ONR (which is second) receives leader Niekerk. With a win, the only representative from Drenthe in this class is champion. In the event of a draw or defeat, the title goes to Niekerk.
4D: Borger needs miracle for title
WVV is almost certain of the title in the 4th division D. The club from Winschoten three points above Borger and also has a better goal difference (+11 compared to the Drenthe club). With a strong victory by Borger at HS’88 and a defeat by WVV against DKB, which is still fighting for a place in the post-competition, it might still be possible. But then Borger will have to work hard on the goal difference.
In any case, Borger is sure of a period title and can still promote via the post-competition, just like SJS and DKB.
5F: Will NWVV be the smiling third?
Today, on the final day, there are still three contenders for the championship in the 5th class: Scheemda, NWVV and Seta. Scheemda is the current leader, followed by NWVV on one point and Seta on two points. Scheemda has to visit Seta and NWVV plays at low flyer Muntendam.
If Scheemda loses and NWVV wins, then the club from Nieuw Weerdinge is champion. If Scheemda and Seta are equal, then the title also goes to the team of trainer Johan Hollen (NWVV).
If Scheemda wins against Seta, NWVV is in any case assured of a place in the postseason for promotion. The other post-competition spots are for Seta and Bargeres.
