Hurry-Up still had something to set right against Eupen. After all, the men of coach Joop Fiege in September in Zwartemeer against the same opponent completely unnecessarily let the victory slip out of their hands in the last minutes of play. The Drents then did not play the game well, so that Eupen could come back from two goals behind to 27-27. Hurry-Up didn’t want to experience such a downer again. And that didn’t happen.
