The start of the RWB game did not suggest such an outcome. He first hurt the Limburgers to go up to 4-12, forcing Sacha Massot to take a first timeout after just four minutes. This break put ideas back in place on the Tongeren side. The local mechanics found the right tempo to gradually erode the Brabant response. Waterloo, where Morini came out of his match and Penninck was also struggling (he had to settle for only seven minutes of play), among others, never had a say again. “We missed everything on Saturday evening, insists the Waterloo coach. But it must also be recognized that Tongeren showed itself to be very strong. This is the training that has impressed me the most so far.”
The RWB, for which it was the last outing of the year, therefore ended the first round with a second setback. His career nevertheless remains exemplary. “This defeat does not detract from our very good start to the championship. Especially since we only lost against two teams stronger than us, especially in team play and consistency throughout the forty minutes.”
Which means Waterloo residents are firmly anchored in the Top 3.
