The team from Groningem, third seed, defended the national title with a double 3-1 win in the playoff finals against No.1 Seesing Personeel Orion.
Lycurgus needed to take two sets in the rematch, away, to claim the trophy. And they did it, already in the first two sets. Nevertheless, they won the match, finishing the finals in the best possible way, not disappointing a few hundreds of their fans who traveled to Doetinchem on Game 2.

Thus, the team coached by Arjan Taaij, a little North American colony (three Americans and one Canadian) led by home volleyball star in the autumn of his career Wytze Kooistra, defended the national title. Furthermore, these two gold medals are the only ones in the championship by Lycurgus.
