Zavelstraat, Retie (Schijf Sport)
Belgium, province: Antwerp
22 IV 2019 / Schijf Sport - FCW Spin 16-0 / Arbeidersvoetbal Kempen, Sunday League
Note 1: Arbeidersvoetbal Kempen is a league of Flemish amateur teams in Belgian Limburg and Eastern Antwerp non affiliated to the Royal Belgian Football Association. Under the auspices of Arbeidersvoetbal Kempen, there is a pyramid of Saturday teams as well as a league of teams playing on Sunday mornings.
Note 2: the encounter I attended turned out to be a rather sorry affair as Schijf Sport disposed of ten players and FC Welkom Spin of a mere seven - and after Schijf had netted sixteen goals in the first half, the game was abandoned with mutual consent. The score of 16-0 was accepted by Arbeidersvoetbal Kempen as an official final result.
