Huizen will play in the big league next year. After a 2-1 win over Leiden and the loss of their closest competition, the leaders of the women's promotion category were no longer to be surpassed. Little Switzerland will know on Sunday afternoon that they will be playing in the Overgangsklasse next season. Last year's main league relegation team were at the bottom all season.
Huizen was crowned champion of the promotional category in his field. Noah van Lier and Noor Noob – who left for the SCHC – scored Gooise goals against a low-flying Leiden side. Fleur Gort scored the equalizer for the Leiden team, but coach Jorge Nolte's team did not get any closer to the leaders. This means that Huizen, after five years of relegation, can prepare to return to the highest level.

Among the other teams in the top five, only Victoria won (1-2 over Larin). Thus, Rotterdam women rise to second place in the rankings. MOP dropped out of the top three due to their 4-1 defeat to Leonidas. Ring Pass also lost 1-2 to Groningen. Sjoerd Wolders are still in the playoff position, thanks in part to the loss to Nijmegen (2-1 vs. HIC).

Little Switzerland has landed
Little Switzerland was unable to maintain itself in the promotion bracket with an almost completely new team. Against the push, fight for everything you're worth. KZ midfielder Jeb Blass made it 1-0 after six minutes, but two minutes later Marieke Bosz equalized for Bosch. Twelve minutes from time, Lübcke van Nistelrooy delivered the final blow. This makes relegation a reality for little Switzerland.
