On Saturday afternoon, the Sportpark Borgele will be the scene of the match between FC RDC and SV Almelo. Referee Albert van Loo will blow his whistle for the first time at 3 p.m.
It is important for RDC to continue the good trend of the last few weeks. The team of coach Kick Maatman currently occupies fifth position in the rankings, but it played one match less than the top 4. It managed to collect 7 points from the first four matches. If it wins its catch-up game, it will move to second place.
Opponent Almelo occupies a disappointing last place in the fourth division E. However, it will not be an easy task for the Deventers. Last Tuesday, Almelo narrowly lost to third division club Barbaros. In the competition the proverbial penny seems to fall the wrong way every week. In recent weeks, the Almelo team has always lost by just one goal. Last weekend it was leader Berghuizen who won 2-3.
For RDC a match that must be won to achieve its objectives for this season. The club welcomed a number of new players last summer, all of whom have already proven themselves at a higher level. In particular, the arrival of Rokay Haafkens (Rohda Raalte) and David Klopman (Schalkhaar) show how ambitious the club is to be able to perform at a higher level in the long term.
In addition to the newcomers, trainer Maatman has already established a substantial foundation in recent seasons. With a clear plan and well-defined vision, the team has been one of the most attractive teams in the competition for some time. Time to start harvesting now. Starting next Saturday against SV Almelo.
