In their own blue and white hall, the home team surprised many a spectator thanks to a spacious lead. Everything that turned blue and white in the first half on the basket almost hit. The visitors from Delft had no answer to the successful shots and looked at an 18-9 deficit at half time.
However, the lead of nine points disappeared like snow in the sun after the break. Blauw-Wit, which won spectacularly last week against reigning national champion PKC, was not a shadow of the team that scored so much in the first half. Fortuna got closer and closer and with another six minutes on the clock, both teams were back in balance: 21-21.
Icy cool
In the final phase, Blauw-Wit still recovered the form as it in the first half. The team of trainers Barry Schep and Mark van der Laan squeezed another lead with the last bit of energy. Loraine Vissers was eventually crowned player of the game thanks to her decisive point in the last minute.
Through the victory, Blauw-Wit in the position of PKC champion rings and is now fourth, a place that gives the right to participate in the play-offs. KZ, the other North Holland team in the Korfbal League, lost 18-20 to Unitas on Saturday. We find KZ in place seven.
