Before the start of the competition it seemed 1and team of TTV Stiphout has a good chance of winning the title in the 1and class D. It was far from plain sailing.
Although after the fairly smooth 1and half of this competition the team was leading with a 6 point lead over Een en Twintig 1 (35 to 29), the 2and half as flexible.
The away match against Return Oss 1 in particular was one to quickly forget. The team that eventually finished in 5th place lost 8-2.and place (and thus relegated).
Despite this slip-up, solid victories followed against Valkenswaard 1 and TTCV van Herwaarden 2. Subsequently, they also lost at Veldhoven (6-4), but they were fortunate that Een en Twintig only played with 2 players at TTCV van Herwaarden and were defeated 8-2.
The last match, against number 2 Een en Twintig, was entered with a lead of 4 points. When it turned out that one of the mainstays of Een en Twintig was injured and therefore could not play in the championship match, the matter was quickly settled. At 0-3 for us 1and team the championship was a fact! Congratulations! One and Twintig congratulated the gentlemen and gave each a beautiful rose! Next season the 1and team once again makes its appearance in the premier league. Good luck gentlemen!
Next to the 1and team in the NTTB is also our 1and team in the TLE recently became champion in Class 3. The 13-point lead over competitor Flash 4 showed that there was some superiority. Next year this team will compete in Class 2. Congratulations gentlemen!
