The Walher engine was missing a few parts. But it was above all the tank which was short of fuel, to hold its own against an opponent determined to save its skin on the D3 circuit. And who quickly took the lead, since in less than ten minutes, Martin had already shaken the nets twice, taking advantage of the gift errors of his hosts. “Last week (Editor’s note: against Tamines), This happened to me too, but a little faster, remarked the Namur attacking midfielder. That said, it was only 1-2 at halftime.” The “capi” visited, “FG” Gilain, had in fact reduced the gap with a nice shot into the top corner, while the “Blues” could consider themselves poorly paid, with two tries on target. Rest changed nothing in the parameters of a debate whose thread had eluded the champions from the start. Gengler quickly made it 1-3, before Gillet took the lead in front of Lorenzon, then Gilain. Martin hit the nail on the head, then imitated by Jean Mathieu, who had barely entered the game. Crevits, one of the young Onhaytois called to play their first minutes in “A”, softened the final score, Gilain and Lorenzon not being able to add a rose to their record staff.
”When we play without desire and with complacency, we are an ordinary team, especially since we no longer train much since the title, noted Lionel Brouwaeys. We didn't play with the fangs, I think that showed. But hats off to Arquet for his rescue. This Sunday, I am more disappointed by the narrow defeat suffered by our P2, at the last minute. Two losses at home are not good for the club. We will do better next week…”
But the party does not leave the Agauche plateau so easily. This time it came, and quite legitimately, from the Vedrinois locker room, assured of remaining at the national level with these three points. “It feels good, after complicated weeks, savored the author of the visiting hat-trick. We came here to work seriously and that's what we did from the first minute until the 90th minute. Maintenance is a given and I think we had the qualities to claim it. Even if Onhaye was already champion, he still had to come and achieve such a result. We wanted to congratulate them and honor their title.”
