By winning at home against Brugge, Mons took a big step towards remaining on the 13th day in D3. Antwerp, for its part, put an end to the good series of Pajot, the leader, while BBRFC Celtic brought down Tournai, the second. The ranks are closing at the top of the table with the victories of Schilde at Kibubu and Standard against Forest.
The suspense is always there in D3. And even redoubled their intensity in the race for first place and the play-offs. After 10 consecutive successes, Pajot saw its good series come to an end on the pitch of Antwerp. The Wilrijk fifteen confirmed their renewed form by winning 46 to 27, thus giving themselves a real breath of fresh air in the second part of the table.
Second, Tournai could have taken advantage of the leaders’ misstep to take the lead. However, the Sang et Or also stumbled on the road, at BBRFC Celtic. The Brussels team had the last word 24-21 and thus won the Coupe du Furet, a Tournai club house trophy now put into play in each confrontation between the two clubs.
It was ultimately Schilde who carried out a golden operation in the ranking by coming back to 5 and 2 points from the first two places. The Diabolos scored a third victory by winning at Kibubu (21-28). A little difficult with a third loss in a row, the Kibu’ is losing ground in the race for the play-offs.
Unlike Standard, who easily defeated Forest with a score of 82-0 and thus climbed to fourth place.
Finally, Mons found its way to victory after five losses in its last five championship matches. Winner for the first time this year, Cramonciau beat Brugge, its closest pursuer (17-3), and perhaps definitely outdistances it in the race to maintain itself.
