Olympic Essen 2-0 HIH Turnhout
Antwerpen Provincial 4a
6 October 2013
Ground number 750 and a reminder as to why I love groundhopping. Late summer sun, a relaxed atmosphere at a friendly local club and plenty of on field action. The home side won the game through a header mid way through the second half (for once I actually have the goal in one of the photos - number 41) and a late penalty for hand ball (which was a little harsh).
The changing rooms were housed in the porta cabin and looked on the small side, which maybe was the reason for the away coach doing a 'Phil Brown' at half time. Or maybe they were just enjoying the sun.
There was even a smoke bomb, but unfortunately I was walking the dog so no photos!
About 1km away is Excelsior Essen who also play in this league. Hopefully we will return for one of these fixtures.
