Kampong win women’s ABN AMRO Cup for first time
Kampong’s women’s won the ABN AMRO Weekend final at home for the first time as they won the final in a shoot-out over near neighbours SCHC with Babette Backers the hero of the day.
The home side took the lead through Guusje Moes. The Brabant striker opened the scoring after just four minutes but Yibbi Jansen equalised in the blink of an eye.
Jansen scored again from another corner in the 20th minute but it was 2-2 at half-time, Iris de Kemp making it level once more.
SCHC led once more when Jansen completed her hat trick two minutes into the second half only for Noor de Baat – recently moved from AH&BC Amsterdam – to make it 3-3 with 25 minutes to go.
It led to a shoot-out where Luna Fokke and Guusje Moes both scored while Backers kept out two SCHC efforts for a 2-1 success in a best of three series.
The Bilthoven team played in the final without internationals Xan de Waard and Mette Winter, who were both injured. Otherwise, they have a reasonably settled panel this season with just Noa Boterman coming in after a spell in the US college system while Trijntje Beljaars has moved to Amsterdam.
Kampong have boosted their panel with de Baat, Imme van Es (from HDM) and Sophie van Grimbergen (Oranje-Rood).
