Stars secures self-preservation in the Eredivisie. Table tennis players from Middelstum convincingly beat Hilversum in a play-down match, partly due to unapproachable Swede Strindberg.

The result was clear, but in the second game of the day, the North Hollanders missed a golden opportunity for an exciting sequel. Stars player Shuohan Men started her game against Elwin Huiden dramatically and quickly faced a 2-0 deficit in games. A time-out requested by coach Jan Tamenga brought the change. They made up for it and left her opponent disillusioned.
