Both with the women and the men varying results for the Limburg top teams in handball.
In the Women’s Eredivisie, a real Limburg derby in Sporthal Glanerbrook in Geleen between Geonius V&L and Cabooter HandbaL Venlo.
Quality
Both teams participate in the top half of the ranking, with Venlo fighting for the top positions and V&L still hopes for the play-offs. But the difference in the rankings became clear during the first half, in which the guests from Venlo were the dominant party: 8-17 the score halfway.
Messy
After the break, that difference was no longer smoothed out and Robin Gielen’s team could even afford a sloppy second half without damage. The final score was 18-33, which means that HandbaL Venlo in any case continues to lead the ranking together with VOC Amsterdam. V&L remains in eighth place.
Belgium Netherlands
In the BENE-League, the men of Kembit/Lions were no match for Achilles Bocholt. The Belgians, leaders in the competition, led 14-19 halfway in the Stadssporthal in Sittard. In the second half, Lions, which occupies second place, came no closer: 28-36.
