With a victory it could make a small gap with Falco Gent, but it soon became clear that the visitors are currently achieving a higher level. It is in no time 6-14 and Ypres immediately follow the facts. At the end of the second Quarter, the home team fails and is 40-43.
Shape dip
A good start in Quarter three can give Ypres hope, and that happens. Delaplace makes it 49-48 and gives his team on the lead for the first time. Although that doesn’t take long. Ghent responds immediately and takes care of the 56-62 lead on a quarter of the end. In the last Quarter, the East Flemish people still run to 65-79.
Ypres is in a dip just before the play-offs: “Losing in Waregem, on Bruges, now at home. We were not to be correct for New Year. Now we get the lid on the nose every time we get a few minutes, that is specific to the last games”, coach Frederiek Geldof is honest in his analysis after the game.
With another match day until the play-offs is Ypres 4th with 49 points. Next week the game with Donza will follow, which will follow on 2 points and 6th.
