Meerle 1-0 Meer
Antwerp Provincial 3A
Chaamseweg
23 February 2014
14 kms from Breda is the small border town of Meerle. Today their team (3 off the bottom of Antwerp provincial league 3A) played hosts to 2nd from bottom and near neighbours Meer. It was everything you would have expected uncompromising, competitive and tense and, courtesy of a late winner, ultimately successful for our hosts for the day. Even in the 7th tier of Belgian football derby day wins are celebrated passionately. To be honest neither the ground nor the game were worthy of much note, but to this confirmed Belgian ground-hopper celebrating not only his 150th Belgian ground but his birthday too, that mattered little.
