The result keeps Sporting Pelt 2 in second place with five points from four games. Bocholt 2 remain seventh on three points from the same number of fixtures. To be fair, the gap between them was always modest before this round.
Bocholt 2 have lost once and drawn twice in their opening four matches. Their recent form includes a 37-43 defeat to Einaten-Reren and a 31-38 loss against Turnhout. Sporting Pelt 2 have shown more consistency, with two wins alongside one defeat and one draw.
The away side's last outing saw them edge past Sasha 28-25, while Bocholt 2's previous match ended in a heavier defeat. By then, both teams were looking to build momentum in the early stages of the campaign.
