The smuggler Grégory Boussifet disembarked from Anhée. “But it’s really not his season. Injured at the start of the championship, he returned at the beginning of October. He notably participated in our great victory against Mortroux. Unfortunately, he relapsed at the beginning of last week. I didn’t therefore more than one passer available in my core of twelve elements.”
With nine points in six matches and 5th place overall in Series C, the results are rather encouraging. “I didn’t really know the opponents, but I can say that we logically lost against Waremme D, with all his young people training nationally, and Herstal B, who doesn’t lack experience. On the other hand, I don’t I didn’t expect to win against Thimister (Editor’s note: his flock had already taken the three points against Florenville and Remouchamps). This weekend too, it was a big surprise, but in the other direction, with our 0-3 defeat in front of Libramont. I faced them as a player with Lesse & Lhomme, in the opening match, and we won 3-2. But this Saturday, they put up a famous resistance against us, serving very well, while we lost the reception battle.”
A week earlier, the Condrusiens had already caused astonishment by being eliminated 3-0 from the Albert Daffe Cup, at P1 Ohey. “It’s since that match that things have gone less well. Perhaps some had put too much pressure on themselves and others… not enough. The Oheytois, who had nothing to lose, showed more of desire and made fewer mistakes than us.”
The situation is obviously nothing alarming. “Normally, this should be fine to maintain itself, if we win the return matches against the teams defeated in the first leg,” considers Thomas Devresse, who marked the date of November 23 in his sports diary. “That evening, Ciney will meet my team from Lesse & Lhomme. The other weekends, I give priority to my role as Ciney coach, even if my professional occupations sometimes prevent me from being present. But for this match -there, I will be a Rochefort player. That was the condition.”
This will spice up this unique Namur derby in the series a little more.
