Red Voleendam beat E&O Women 29:26 on Saturday in the opening round of the Eredivisie, women's section. The match took place on 5 September 2026 at the home ground of the hosts, who sit eleventh in the table with zero games, zero wins, zero draws, zero losses and zero points.
The result turned things around from their last meeting. On 21 March the visitors had won 36:25 away, so this time Red Voleendam saw the game out and pulled away. The scoreline told a different story from the spring encounter, even if the margin was narrower.
Both sides had been busy in the months before this fixture. Red Voleendam's recent run included a 38:27 win over Venlo Women and a 31:26 victory against Vluug en Lenig. E&O, meanwhile, had stringed together three consecutive wins over ZAP, ending a barren spell in the process.
There is nothing to say about the standings yet. The table remains empty, and the gap between sides will only show itself over time. For now the result simply marks a new chapter.
Red Voleendam take two points from the opening day, E&O start with none. The competition is open, and the first match gave a hint of what might follow.
