Pepinster C Gets Sporting Revenge Against Verlaine Despite Defensive Struggles

From then on, facing this team from the middle of the ranking, the Greens hoped that their exploit from the first leg (70-72) would be able to be reproduced even if Benoît Baguette’s troops were unable to leave their position of antepenultimate. Unfortunately, in the first quarter, the Verlaine defense was completely absent. Faced with visitors dropping five bombs (including four for Goffart), the scorer panicked. Fortunately, in a structured manner, Evrard responded to him as Liebens began his festival. Following in the footsteps of their captain, the Verlainois reversed the trend and even finished with a bang to take the lead at 46-40.

A good recipe that the Greens were unable to confirm during the second act. Because, if Liebens continued to feed the scorer well helped by Parfondry, the defense could no longer hold up. Concealing 48 points in the last twenty minutes, the Greens were first caught then, riddled with errors (29 against 19), ended up giving up. Without the shots on which the visitors could rely, Benoît Baguette’s group finished the game with its last five players still able to be on the field. Indeed, following the exits for five faults from Baguette, Evrard and Dehin, it was impossible to hold the shock in the final actions.

Pepinster C therefore took his sporting revenge, even if a simple glance at the fault column of this duel raises questions. With 37 shots received, the visitors overcame their poor percentage (only 22 scored) to make the difference while the Verlainois only shot fifteen for seven scored.

QT : 23-29, 23-11 (46-40), 19-25 (65-65), 15-23. VERLAINE : Parfondry 9, Stewart 0, Baguette B 9, Liebens 29, Butenaers 4, Evrard 17, Duperroy 8, Dehin 4.
