With three defeats, the season started dramatically for FC Volendam. Promotion was very far away at that time, but Rick Kruys remained calm and trusted in better times in those weeks. “The turnaround was the fairground match against Top Oss,” Kruys looks back on this successful competition.
Then the team of Kruys booked one victory to another, resulting in the lead just before the winter break. Now after 34 rounds, the eel farmers are well at the top and they are already sure of direct promotion.
On Sunday, FC Volendam can also conquer the championship in the first division. The Volendammers play at home against number two Excelsior. NH Sport is present at the competition and reports through different channels.
