Nijmegen player Tijn Stuve can call herself the first top scorer of the new season in the promotion class men. The 28-year-old striker scored four goals in the derby with Ede, who won Nijmegen 9-0. Nineteen goals were scored during the first day in the ladies of the promotion class, but no player scored more than once.
Promotion League Men
Already during the previous season – when Nijmegen still played at the highest level – Stuve was the most productive player of his team. He then scored eleven goals for the relegated team. Last Sunday he simply continued last season’s line with four goals against weakened Ede. Teammates Jim van de Venne and David Blom each scored twice. They can also be found at the top of the first top scorers list of the season.
Stuve’s four -maker contributed to a rare high in the seven -year history of the Promotion League. Only two duels on the second level of the Netherlands once ended with an even larger margin: Nijmegen-Were di of 29 May 2022 (10-0) and Gooische-SchC of 25 September 2022 (1-11).

Promotion class ladies
As we have been expecting from the matches in the Ladies of the Promotion League in recent years, several target shoters are a rarity. The six games of the first day of play produced a total of 19 goals, but no goal scorer managed to score more than once.
Of the players who finished high on the top scorers list last season, we only saw the name Donna Dupuis. The Victoria Striker opened the score in the road with newcomer HBS, but eventually saw her team falling 2-1.
