Hercules, which topped the table last season when the league was broken down in October, are now disappointingly ninth. Trainer René van der Kooij cannot appeal to top scorer Tyrone Fonville this afternoon, who was injured against Groene Ster on Sunday. “I hope he can be there against HSC’21 on Wednesday,” says Van der Kiij, who is only missing the long-term injured goalkeeper Fons Mulder.
