We headed out from Folkestone on the 08.50 Eurotunnel, which left two minutes late, to do what was looking like being a 4 match weekend trip. Our afternoon action was to be in the Dutch Amateurs 2nd Klasse (level 7 of Dutch football), in the town of Axel, which is just under 2 hours drive from Calais. It is in the Zeeland region, which is the strip of land that runs from the North Sea coast, eastwards towards Antwerp and is not actually joined to the main area of the Netherlands, as it is surrounded by Belgium on its southern and eastern border, but does have a link via the toll road through the Terneuzen Tunnel to the north.

Axel came into this 13th (second bottom) in the league table, with the visitors Yerseke being seventh. It became obvious very early on which way the three points were heading. It was only 0-2 at the break, but should have been at least another two or three goals more. Yerseke did add another three goals after the break, in what was as comfortable a 0-5 away win as you are likely to see.
