Brussels Ltc 1

Firsts were playing champions from 2 years ago LTC in a freezing Nossegem without Sigve & Sylvain who were helping out Vets 1. Very even game, some nice passages of play from both teams, few half chances. Just before half time after some great work by Nair, Arjan cutback & a lovely finish from Erik. HT 1-0. 2nd half was much the same & we could have added more before Seb eventually made it 2-0 from another Arjan assist. Nice win & a decent performance against a good team. MOTM Nair

Firsts travelled to Ohain, scene of our famous cup win last season to take on top of the table LTC. Unfortunately we were playing on the mud pitch behind the stand rather than the lovely one in front of it. Scrappy game, conceded from their first attack, good cross & header but avoidable. We created a couple of chances, 0-1 at HT. We dominated possession, our subs adding greatly, but couldn’t get the equaliser until with 15 to go Daan rose to bury a bullet header from a pinpoint Rachid corner. We continued to push & with seven to go Clovis was fouled on the edge of the box, Rachid territory. He shot low & it got a slight deflection to put us ahead. They threw everything at us & had a goal disallowed for a foul, we could have added to our tally on the break. Great effort from 1-14 in difficult conditions against a seasoned, well drilled team, huge character shown & we now move to within 1 point of them at the top of the league. Motm Daan.
