“Disappointing doesn't do justice to this performance by Rottingbadback.

It all started so well. Filip Dams breaks the habit of a career and wins the battle of the big guys in turn one, sending the ogre to the bench for the rest of the game. Halfway through the first half, the rotters had the ball and a couple of extra players on the field and were thinking about a goal difference boosting win. But in a moment of stupidity, the opportunity was squandered as the coach orders Roel Brouwers to take a both-down result instead of trying again, forgetting Roel hasn't learned to block yet.

The team just about managed to get to halftime level, but heads were down and they meekly conceded a quick score to start the second half. It could have been worse, as Foulbion recovered the ball on a blitz. Fortunately, and after a lot of huffing and puffing, Rottingbadback got the ball back and got it into the endzone in time for a face-saving draw.

So mid-table mediocrity beckons for a team that usually celebrates such an achievement.

Of course that could all change if there are a bunch of implausible results, starting with a WBF win over the HornHits - good luck Vampy and well played in this one. ”
