Football: Westzaan continues to win, Hercules on course

Westzaan is working on a good series, the team now has it in their own hands to avoid the playoffs.

Hercules Zaandam booked a big victory and remains on course for the promotion places in the 3rd division.

2nd class Sunday

KFC did not manage to achieve a good result in Juliandorp, the local JVC was ultimately 2-1 too strong. As a result, the promotion places are further out of sight and it even has to look down again. Number 9 ZAP has reached 2 points and place 9 means playing the playoffs against relegation. Saenden lost 1-4 at home to HSV and dropped to 11th place. The gap to the safe places of KFC and Bloemendaal is 4 points, with 5 games to go.

3rd class Sunday

Hercules Zaandam managed to win 6-1 at home against mid-engine Alliance’22. Due to the draw of competitor VSV against RCZ, the Zaandammers now also have the best papers for the promotion places. Sp. Krommenie continued her impressive advance with a nice draw against the strong Zwanenburg. WSV’30 got no further than a goalless draw against TABA.

4th grade Sunday

Westzaan keeps winning, this time the team was 1-2 too strong for relegated Geel Wit’20. The team climbed over Zaandijk, which took the lead against the leader Meteoor, but eventually lost 1-2. Rood Wit Z was again surprised against a mid-engine, it became 3-1 against Heemstede and the team will almost certainly have to focus on the playoffs to enforce promotion.
