July 2022 / no match visited

Note: Westhoek Gaasbeek, founded in 1975 (matricule 8306), allegedly concluded a merger with a club from Sint-Martens-Lennik (possibly VK Stormvogels?) to form VC Westhoek Gaasbeek-Sint-Martens-Lennik (usually known abbreviatedly as WGSM Lennik) in 1983. Probably, at that stage, first team football moved from Gaasbeek's ground at Trontingenstraat to Rosweg in Sint-Martens-Lennik. Possibly, the ground at Trontingenstraat in Gaasbeek remained in use for lower team football and training purposes for some more years .In 2002, VC Westhoek Gaasbeek Sint-Martens-Lennik, in its turn, merged with KVK Eendracht Lennik (matricule 4157), resulting in the foundation of KFC Lennik, with activities moving to KVK Eendracht Lennik's ground at Frans Van der Steenstraat in Sint-Kwintens-Lennik. It is as yet unclear by what stage the ground in Gaasbeek was abandoned. Nowadays, the former pitch - the clubhouse still standing - is part of a farmstead.
