After finishing third in the European Champions Cup in Barcelona, CORENDON KINHEIM will take on Hoofdklasse leader DOOR NEPTUNUS in a three-game series in the Netherlands this weekend. NEPTUNUS didn’t allow a run in their sweep against ADO last week and hopes to solidify first place further against the third-ranked team from Haarlem. The second Dutch European Champions Cup participant was L&D AMSTERDAM, which was beaten by KINHEIM in the bronze medal game. Last year’s champion takes on the team in fourth place, the KONICA MINOLTA PIONIERS.
SPARTA/FEYENOORD, which is in fifth place, hopes for a few losses by the PIONIERS, so they can use their series against MR COCKER HCAW to move up a spot in the standings. In the cellar ADO tries to end a losing streak of 17 games against the MEDIA MONKS RCH, which have won three of the last six games (one tie). After the upcoming three-game series the Hoofdklasse takes a break of about three weeks for the World Port Tournament in Rotterdam and returns on July 16
