Zeeland derby returns to the highest amateur level

Kluetinge and Hoek are set to meet on Friday in the first Zeeland derby at the highest amateur level in 18 years. Their previous meeting was in May 2008, when Hoek won 2–0 at Wesselopark with both goals scored by Stijn Mahieu.

Around 3,000 spectators are expected for the evening match. The stadium lights are due to be extinguished briefly during the derby, and Kluetinge chairman Jan-Kees de Bruine said Friday was an ideal day and could attract more people than the club’s match against Cambuur Leeuwarden.
