Hockey players Kampong eat Amsterdam with skin and hair | Sport
Cox, once again successful as head coach of the 1, former employer had imagined a little differently. The 43-year-old Cox has to get the sinking ship from Amsterdam afloat again and was doing quite well, but in Utrecht it turned out that there is still a lot of work to be done in the Amsterdamse Bos.
While Amsterdam after a dull first quarter via Trent Mitton, one of the four Australians in the main force of Cox’s team, nota bene still came up: 0-1.
However, the home club turned out to be anything but out of balance and came alongside again via the first penalty corner of Jip Janssen. That equalizer put Roelant Oltmans’ team on edge and was the start of a major offensive that resulted in excellent hits by Terrance Pieters and Mats Gruter.
Hattrick Pieters
Pieters had a nice evening with three goals anyway and also saw Janssen cash in on his second corner. Bjorn Kellerman and Derck de Vilder completed the eight goals. Due to the enormous beating, Amsterdam plummeted from second to seventh place of Kampong, which still has to overtake against Den Bosch, has the fewest loss points after Bloemendaal and advanced to fourth place.

Bloemendaal
There was also a lot of scoring in the other matches. National champion Bloemendaal was beaten 6-0 much too strong for SCHC and saw Floris Wortelboer make his first minutes of the season after his shoulder surgery.
At Pinoké-Den Bosh (4-4) there were eight hits, with the two hits of goldcrest Dennis Warmerdam standing out. The neo-international was good for the 3-3 and the 4-4.
Arnie’s Army
Oranje-Rood took over second place from Amsterdam by playing the season against playing Rotterdam 3-4. After 41 minutes the final score had already been reached and it turned out that the Rotterdam whirlwind Thijs van Dam had not made much progress with his two goals.
Little Switzerland, which also called the financial support of former player Reinout Oerlemans as Arnie’s Army goes through hockey life, Hurley didn’t help in Amsterdam: 1-4. The goals in The Hague were made by the American Aki Käppeler, the Australian Thomas Craig and the Germans Max Kapaun and Marco Miltkau. KZ is equal in points with Orange-Red, but has a less goal difference than the Eindhoven team.
Hurley
Tilburg in-house the Brabant derby of Den Bosch: 2-3. Koen Bijen, good for two direct hits, signed the winning goal. Tilburg remains in the penultimate place in the ranking with three points, ahead of Hurley, who is still scoreless, who keeps twenty of the last 23 home games in the Tulip Hoofdklasse.
