They are twelve, like the apostles … Twelve veterans, aged between 60 and 70 years who play national interclub for TC Fontainois with aggressiveness, motivation and a lot of enthusiasm. And certainly not for fun! The 65-1 have just won their pool.
“We are champions, but not of Belgium, because the clubs of the Flemish League were not participating this year, says Jean-Pierre Doucy. I contacted the Federation and apparently we would be awarded the AFT championship title. “
Besides Jean-Pierre (C30.2) appear in this happy band Jean-Jacques Delporte (C15), Pierre Halbrecq (C15.1), Christian Rzyski (C15.3), Charles Alcamisi (C15.3), Pierre Destrais (C15 .3), Daniel Noel (C15.5), Michel Bongrain (C30), Michel Bertand (C30.2), Athanasios Goumas (C30.2), Alfred Bracke (C30.4) and Jean Van Geel (C30.6) .
“We have been playing together for years. We are friends but also and above all real competitors! When we play in winter, we compete in a small championship between us and I can tell you that it is not fair to the pleasure! We are launching small challenges and everyone wants to win! “
Several of them were part of the glorious teams of Fontaine who have already been crowned Belgian champions in the past (twice in 65 years, once in 70 years). “Alfred is the new kid, if I can put it that way. We are delighted to have him with us because he is a famous reinforcement! And he is perhaps the most diligent of all of us! He would not miss it! a training !”
The veterans have prepared these interclubs very carefully. “They are still a big goal. As soon as the sanitary rules were relaxed, we went back to the field with one goal: to be efficient!”
