On the last day of play before the winter break at Tulip Hovedeklaise Maine, Den Bosch tied 3-3 against national champion Bloemendaal. Captain Kampong was too strong 2-1 on ailing HGC on home soil.

Bloemendaal – Den Bosch 3-3
National Champion Blumendale knew that a duel against Den Bosch would be difficult. In the first match, Oosterplas tied with difficulty 2-2. Also this time, in ‘t Kopje, the match ended in a draw. It was 3-3 in a great match. A brutally battered Den Bosch led 2-0 in the first quarter. After the break, Bloemendaal seemed to put things in order after a great job by Jorrit Croon. Den Bosch didn’t give up and tied through rookie Jubie Walpert. Bloemendaal kept looking for 4-3, but Den Bosch also withstood the pressure when the team was in line even with nine players.

Kampung – HGC 2-1
At Klapperboom, HGC already suffered their seventh defeat in 12 competition matches. And the stumbling continues for the team of coach Bram Lomans, who was forced to dispense with Seif van As, and HGC remains in tenth place, three points behind the safe ninth. League leader Kampong recorded his eleventh victory of the season and undefeated in thirteen consecutive games (W12 G1) at Tulip Hovedeklaise. With his opening goal, Jip Janssen has reached a personal milestone. The penalty corner specialist scored his 100th official goal for Utrecht. Jansen scored his first goal exactly six years ago: on November 13, 2016, he scored a goal in the Eredivisie major against HGC.
