Groen Geel did not manage to stunt against PKC tonight. The reigning national champion was a few sizes too big in Wormer: 15-29. Due to the defeat, the North Hollanders did not qualify for the championship group.
Actually, Green Yellow was not involved for a moment tonight. Many passing balls were missed in the first half, while PKC fired from a distance with a sharp shot. Richard Kunst in particular had it on his hips with eight goals in the first 25 minutes.
Halfway through, the deficit had already risen to nine points (9-18), so that Groen Geel couldn’t make it into a game after the break. In the final phase, the deficit was reduced from sixteen to fourteen points. However, that was little consolation for the Zaankanters.
The loss means that the team of coach Daniel Harmzen will play in the relegation pool for the rest of the season. In case of a win or a draw, the result at TOP against DOS ’46 would have been decisive for qualification for the championship group.
