KFC Berendrecht
10th June does appear to be a little early for a pre-season friendly, especially as the next day we went to the last round of Oberliga season and the Hoofdklasse play off final was 8 days later! However, it did provide an opportunity for a new ground on a day where there was little else going on.
I imagine that the idea was to have a gentle work out on a pleasant summer's evening, but they didn't factor in mother nature, who did her worse; rain, wind and 13 degrees is not what pre-season is about!
Despite this, the Antwerpen fans turned out in force (as ever), so much so that the view was a little limited in the dry parts of the ground.
PDM sources told us that the last time Royal Antwerp played a team from this low down the pyramid the score was 24-0. There was never going to be a repeat of this, but it was nearly all one way traffic.
Berendrecht 1-7 RAFC
