As said, Hercules and Sportlust’46 will meet an opponent from the fourth division. Berkum in Zwolle qualified for the preliminary round of the KNVB Cup via the district cup. Last season, Berkum finished eighth in the fourth division B. It played twice against Hercules’ city rivals DHSC. In Zwolle Berkum was 3-0 too strong, in Utrecht DHSC won 1-0. Hercules had a good preparation. Only second divisionist Rijnsburgse Boys lost. Another second divisionist, De Treffers, was defeated.
The battle for the cup begins: can an amateur club repeat Spakenburg’s stunt?
