After finished Saturday the score was drawn in the best-of-three series, Groen Geel had to win again to be sure of enforcement. In Hardinxveld-Giessendam, Daniel Harmzen’s team started nervously, but got better in the game halfway through the first half. Mark Klop, who scored ten times on behalf of HKC last Saturday, was again a tease for Groen Geel in that first half with six hits. Partly thanks to Klop, HKC went into halftime with a minimal lead: 11-10.

Stamp on the match
After the break, Green Yellow came out better. Stijn Hoekstra skilfully eliminated Klop in the second half, so that the HKC tastemaker could hardly leave his mark on the match. On the side of Groen Geel, Martin Coevert, among others, stood up with several important goals and Terenc Griemink was important under the basket with his rebounds.
