Water polo started again in the Netherlands

January 24, 2021
Dutch Water Polo Cup

After a forced break of more than three months, the highest water polo league in the Netherlands has started again with the National Cup competition. Spectators are not allowed yet, but matches can be played again. The Cup competition is played without internationals, as they are busy with qualifying for the Olympic Games at the moment.

Thanks to the availability of sufficient coronavirus tests for the clubs and the cooperation of swimming pools for opening for teams in the highest league, the restart gained momentum. The National Cup competition is set up differently from other years. The first round is played in two groups for both men and women (Round Robin system). The regular competition – with internationals – for the women restarts on February 13. The men will follow two weeks later after the OQT in Rotterdam. A number of cup rounds will therefore be played after the end of the regular competition in June, including the semi-final and the final.

Dutch Men Water Polo Cup

In the first round, the biggest surprise was in Rotterdam, where in group A home club SVH was beaten by Water Polo Den Haag (10:17). Last season, the team from The Hague still played in the first division, but on Saturday they ran smoothly to a big victory in the second half. Reigning cup holder AZC narrowly beat ZPB (10:11). ZV De Zaan was too strong for BZC in Borculo with 8:13.

In group B the most tension was in Nijverdal where Het Ravijn and Polar Bears shared the points (16:16). The home team had the lead for a long time, but Polar Bears evened the game in the last quarter. Reigning national champion UZSC shook off ZPC Amersfoort in the regional derby (10:12). Former international Benjamin Hoepelman was the big man at the Utrecht club with five goals. ZVL beat PSV with 14:10. The team from Leiden took the lead only in the last quarter.

It became a whopping 6:22. Maxine Schaap scored on her own for ZV De Zaan as much goals as the entire home team in total.
