The manager Bosma was unhappy after their last game, played at their home stadium Sportpark de Bosk. Harkemase suffered a 1-2 loss to SteDoCo (placed 10th). Late heartbreak for Harkemase Boys in the SteDoCo match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Harkemase have scored 15 goals in 11 league games away. For Harkemase Boys, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
