We had not been too impressed with the last match we saw at this level, but once again it fitted the bill in killing time before our afternoon match. It was a much more even game than the 14-0 thrashing we witnessed at Lommel S.K. the other week, as the two teams here were more evenly matched physically. Nijlen were just too strong and it was easy to see why they are top of the league. They led 5-0 at halftime and added their sixth goal three minutes into the second half.

Above : Nijlen score their fifth goal from the penalty spot.

K.F.C. Nijlen first team will be moving into their new ground at the start of next season. We were surprised to see that the new ground is actually within the current youth complex and is the other side of the clubhouse to the pitch that this mornings match was played on. It all looks ready to go and as far as we could tell, it just appears to lack pitch markings.

Their current ground, Ophoven, which I visited in 2014, is only a couple of hundred yards from the new ground, so we called in on our way to our next match and as the gate was open, it was a good opportunity to have a look around before it disappears and take a few photos.
