Desert Rats FC travelled to 11th place for their first match of 2017, and had to come from behind to register their latest win. Playing 4-4-1-1 against 4-3N-2(AMW)-1, AMC Simon Hunt got a rare start and immediately got himself in trouble, an injudicious tackle giving the home side an opportunity to take an early lead, which they duly did via a direct free-kick. The Rats had to wait until four minutes before the break for an equaliser, midfielder Glenn Seynaeve outsprinting the defence to a long defensive clearance and beating the 'keeper from close range. In the second-half, Hunt made amends for his earlier transgression by converting a right-wing cross from Emerson de Alencar Arraes, and after the Management had made a double substitution to rest some tiring players, Seynaeve added a direct free-kick and midfield Youth product Graeme Brooks thanked the medical staff for his quick recovery from injury with the final goal as Desert Rats won 4-1.
