1sts went to 2nd place Choule Auderghem looking to pull 7 points clear at the top of Abssa. Started sluggishly but keeper & defence were very solid. Game was very even with half chances at both ends. HT 0-0. We were the better team in the 2nd half & started pushing for the opener, another few half chances, then Arjan was fouled on the edge of the box, Rachid despatched the penalty with ease, 18 to go. We continued to dominate & with 10 to go Rachid fouled, got up & another fantastic penalty. We could have added to it but 2-0 will do. Great effort from 1-14 & support from Dave, Denis, Seb & Cillian, great to see. Need to keep this going until the end of the season now. MOTM Sigve at centre back.
Firsts had a good win against a strong Choule side, who we were level on points with ahead of kickoff. Having to soak up pressure from the outset, we opened the scoring after a flowing move that saw Erik convert from a Bono cross. Our start to the second half was much better, with three quick fire goals from Alvaro (after a super Seb pass), Arjan and Rachid killing the contest. Missing countless chances left the game open, with Choule getting two in the last ten minutes from some sloppy defending, but the boys in green made it three wins from their first four by full time.
