The men of ZV De Zaan did not succeed in winning the first national title in history. The water polo players lost the third and decisive match against GZC Donk 11-9. The women did win their first championship yesterday.
In a packed swimming hall in Gouda, ZV De Zaan started confidently, because yesterday the Zaankanters won the second game 19-11. As a result, the score was 1-1 and a third game had to make the decision. However, this confrontation went a lot less well. Home team GZC Donk dominated from start to finish and also deservedly won the national title. ZV De Zaan coach Andreas Mirales also admitted that afterwards. “The disappointment is very big, but today was not our day.”
