Final
The final, which took place on 8 May in Heemstede, was contested by HBS Craeyenhout, the 1901 champions and 1902 runner-ups, and HVV Den Haag, who struggled in the semifinals against the second division team NOAD Breda, but ultimately won in extra-time, thus setting up a The Hague derby.[3]
The first goal of the match was scored by HBS's Van den Berg, but on the wrong net, with Den Haag doubling their lead shortly after, via their star player John Heyning.[1] Even though HBS managed to cut down the deficit thanks to Van den Broeck d'Obrenau, the HVV team then scored a further four goals in the second-half to seal a resounding 6–1 victory, which came from Dirk Lotsij and the Sol brothers (John and Eetje).[1]
