vs vv Almerk (8th)
G: Dammes Waasdorp
D: Tom Van Der Linden/Jerrold van den Eeckhout/Bastin Verweij/Casper van Oosterom
MC: Jeroen Folkers/Amar Sedjic
AMLR: Achmed Ahahaoui/Sven Strijk
ST: Joreilly Chirino/Derk Schut

53 seconds - Chirino sprays it out on the wing to Strijk, who is a MR, not AMR, but starting due to injury to Smulders, which forced Ahahaoui to AML. Anyway, he dribbles, then crosses it into the box, where Chirino continues to show Curacao fire! 1-0

11 - Strijk flares it down the right flank ahead of Schut. Pickup and shoot. Deflection. But the ball comes back to our captain and the defense can't recover in time to prevent the rebound 2-0

46 - Waasdorp rushes the kick and sends it right back to them. Boom, 25 yarder before half. 2-1

48 - Sedjick far post corners and Ahahoui slams it in. I feel like we'll need because of how bad our backline has played 3-1

55 - van Hees for Verwij, the usual Romeyn jump in at DL

58 - van Eeckhout actually makes a header and nods it to Sedjic for a gorgeous rainbow right to Schut's feet in the box. Slam, bam, thank you ma'am!!! 4-1

62 - Waasdor is awful at long-range defending, giving up a free kick 4-2

86 - Zero excuse for that shitty, shitty defense. 4-3

89 - Ahahaoui bails us out with a couple interceptions, and on the latter, he wings out to Strijk for the deep box dribble. Two defenders close in, but he has all the time to cross to Chirino for the game saver. 5-3



Our offense was incredible. Our defense is ugly. Up to 5th, and I'm thinking we've got a reasonable shot at 3rd or 4th in the division if we can get a backbone worth talking about.

@ VVZ '49 (2nd)
G: Dammes Waasdorp
D: Tom Van Den Linden/Jerrold van den Eeckhout/Bastin Verweij/Casper van Oosterom
MC: Max Oostenrijk/Amar Sedjic
AMLR: Bas Smulders/Achmed Ahahaoui
ST: Joreilly Chirino/Derk Schut

51 seconds - Sedjic makes a takeaway (I will do whatever I can to sign our Bosnian teen when we're no longer amateur) and wings right to Schut. Fire bomb down the pitch, where Chirino beats the defender and passes right into open box space, and it's.... HOLY COW IT'S SEDJIC CHARGING IN FOR HIS FIRST EVER KAMPONG SCORE!!! 1-0

37 - My boy Sedjic makes a goal-saving pickoff deep in our half and taps back to Waasdorp. Jackhammer down the middle of the pitch sees the ball bounce to Chirino, and the Curacao veteran muscles past *two* defenders and hits the go-ahead goal. Never thought he'd emerge as the star but here we are. 2-0

40 - Some pass buildup at midfield until Van der Linden corks it long to Chirino in the box. Dribble and spear diagonal shot, and whoop whoop tally it up! 3-0

It's been a garbage day for Schut, so he sits at half and we're going to fake them out of their tactical shorts by bringing Leocadio in and arranging a striker switch.

90 - Chirino flares the ball right and forward, where Leocadio takes it and dribbles into the box, showing the flailing would-be tackler his cleats en route to a power shot 4-0



Our most complete win yet.

But we're not done - we bring in a couple new starters on paper:





A new DC and new AMR and we inject some much needed youth on what is overall a pretty old squad.

vs ASC Nieuwland (11th)
G: Dammes Waasdorp
D: Jerrold van den Eeckhout/Robin Hoekstra/Bastin Verweij/Casper van Oosterom
MC: Jeoren Folkers/Amar Sedjic
AMLR: Achmed Ahahaoui/Hedzer Prins
ST: Joreilly Chirino/Derk Schut

One DL suspended, one injured, so we have to play someone out of position in what will officially be our halfway mark of the season. We've cavalry arriving on the opening of the transfer deadline (a ton of dudes are coming, almost all defenders). Let's just hope our opponents are bad enough to where it doesn't matter.

10 - Schut dribbles into the box from the half-circle and makes a clumsy attempt to pass that's intercepted. Team captain makes up for his mistake by pancaking the defender and firing in a shot to keep the Cape Verdean 24 year old on the bench. 1-0

52 - Leocadio in for Chirino, who has just been pure garbage today.

55 - Prins shoots it down the right line for Schut and the keeper's attempt to intercept the ground cross sees him miss. Leocadio continues to be super striker sub with the insurance score 2-0

61 - Van Hees goes in for Hoekstra, who wants a break.

86 - I'm going to be pissed if we blow this... 2-1

Fortunately we don't, but it's the kind of game where Derk Schrut's 7.4 is good enough for PotM.

Halfway Standings:


So yeah, zero chance of catching first place, but we're in position where we could be runners-up, which would be pretty awesome, considering our slow start to the year.
