Belgium Wegnez - Racing and Gantoise reduce the gap at the top of the competition - Beerschot – Leopold: 4-4.There was suspense on the side of Kontich with a full, committed and exciting match between 2 teams with very different objectives. The people of Brussels want to finish the regular competition in the lead to validate the first EHL ticket while the people of Antwerp will have to work hard to ensure their maintenance in the honor division. And it was the local team who took the lead via 2 goals from François Sior (including a penalty). In the 22nd minute, Arthur Verdussen finally sounded the revolt for the Ucclois but Sior, decidedly well inspired this afternoon, scored the hat-trick on pc When he returned from the locker room, Leo took the initiative and Max Plennevaux struck twice (38th and 51st). The Bee did not give up and regained the advantage on a stroke converted by Arthur De Sloover. The leader of the competition wanted to avoid a 6th setback and it was Dylan Englebert who got his team out of this bad situation when there were still 7 minutes to play in the game. The Ucclois then threw all their forces into the battle to bring back the 3 points but the Mauve et Blanc held on and collected a good point for their rescue mission which will have to continue during the delicate trip to Racing next Sunday.

At the end of a double weekend that started on Friday evening, the 19th day of the ION Hockey League, played on Sunday, had the effect of tightening the leading positions even more, three days before the end of the regular phase of the championship.

The Waterloo Ducks and the Dragons scowl

belgaimage 176185184 full 2048x1365 1 - The Waterloo Ducks and the Dragons scowl - The weeks go by and look the same for the Brabançons who continue to stand still and who still only have 4 points in as many games. Moreover, the meeting did not start in the best possible way for Wat, which evolved without Victor Charlet (back pain), and which only cashed after 75 seconds via Charlie Van Damme . The home team dominated in a sterile manner and it was, finally, in the 24th minute that William Ghislain found the net. At the start of the second half, Ignacio Nepote gave the advantage back to Lierrois but Louis Depelsenaire(50th) brought back a smile to the local supporters. Waterloo pushed and made the game but the Herakles held on and did not let go despite the debauchery of energy. Next Sunday, Jean Willems' men will have to win a visit to the Braxgata to avoid being left behind in the standings by the other favorites.

The Flandriens and the Brabançons neutralized each other (2-2), but they demonstrated that they will have to be counted on throughout the season to compete with the favorites. As expected, the honorary division championship will be undecided and many clubs could do well and take advantage of the probable downturns of certain favorites. This will certainly […]

The Flandriennes won a third national title after those of 2006 and 2009. The Dragons deceived themselves in the first period before giving in under the pressure of the best team of the season.
