Curtis L’Ausele

On a moist, warm November afternoon in Nossegem the mighty Turds took on 2nd placed Curtis L’Ausele. Once again, the boys forgot to bring the kits, which did not stop Nico – our, according to Gav, 40 year old winger decided to warm up topless, which the crowds watched in awe. Unfortunately for him, the ref wouldn’t have it – we had to wait patiently for Matt, who drove 150kmh down the motorway and made it just in time.

Admiration of the Turds continued when they started the game in excellent fashion. A new midfield trio of Ara, Sylvain and Nico found each other quite well. After having been denied by the Curtis keeper once, Shane smartly slotted another 1v1 home to put the Turds up 1-0. Well deserved.

Good play continued across the field, with the Turds getting some of their best football all season on the ball. The Turds came close to more goals and Curtis had little to answer for it. Unfortunately, a slip up at the back from a free kick let to a good driven finish: 1-1.

At half time, the boys motivated each other to keep the good football going. And it did. Within the first 10-15 mins of the second half the Turds created more well worked chances, unfortunately we couldn’t find the back of the net. Another freekick at the other end came in and the Curtis striker was able to produce a well placed header into the back of the net. 1-2 against the run of play.

The Turds kept pushing and kept getting close but were unfortunately caught up once again from a set piece. A corner came to the back stick where an unmarked Curtis player slotted it home: 1-3.

In the end a very frustrating afternoon in Nossegem, because it was arguably the Turds’ best game of the season. 2nd placed Curtis come away with all 3 points, winning the game through efficiency, but it should not have been close. The Turds go again next week as they visit New Inn.
