Netherlands National Playoffs 1898-1950 and Full Tables 1950-1954
In 1916 the northern first class started as the last of the regional Dutch first classes. The Northern region comprised the provinces Drenthe, Friesland and Groningen. These provinces are not very densely populated, which gave the competition a relatively low standard. The northern tended to finish last in the national championship play-offs with only a few exceptions (most famously with Be Quick's national title in 1920). 1916-1917 1.
