Ten HOFfing and puffing down Whitton's neck

Wim Ten Hof of the Hollandse Club Blues is huffing and puffing down Stephen Whitton's neck in the goal scorers' chart. Ten Hof overtook his team mate, Pascal Blanchet and moved into 2nd spot, albeit 5-goals adrift of Whitton. With only one game left to play, Ten Hof would need to score 5 times and hope Whitton shoots blanks (insofar as goals are concerned ;)) to win the top goal scorer title. Blanchet needs one more to bag the accolade. Meanwhile, the Hockey Village People man need only hope for the others to fail and will become the top scorer.

However the in form Blues won 4-0 and got 11 points to ensure they top the table ahead of the finals. The table topping performance is important as now al they need is a draw in the finals to win the inaugural SVHA 8on8 League Masters 2009 Season title.
