The Misker E&O handball players also failed to achieve a result in their seventh match since their return to the Premier League. The women from Emmen lost without a chance to Venlo 42-24.
The heavy away defeat was not surprising in itself, because the team of Danish coach Henrik Bergholt met one of the top teams in the Premier League in Venlo. The Limburgers lead the standings together with the Amsterdam VOC, which also has fourteen points. E&O, which returned to the highest level after five years and attracted a number of players with Premier League experience, is disconsolately last with zero points.
Within ten minutes Venlo is already 7-0 ahead
At halftime, the visitors from Emmen were already trailing 18-10. Within ten minutes it was already 7-0 for Venlo, which opened up the throttle further in the second half and mercilessly punished every mistake by the E&O players. Last season’s number two behind champion VOC eventually won without any problems with 42-24. E&O says it will continue to fight for its first victory.
