Issoudun: 72
Romorantin: 82
Between two teams already relegated to departmental, there was little stake in this meeting which opposed Saint-Cyrienne to Romorantin. If not play for fun and end up in style. In front of their audience, the Issoldunois therefore aims to win again against the players of the Loir-et-Cher when they wanted to take their revenge from the first leg.
The start of the game smiled at the locals, which by developing a simple and effective game, without many losses of bullets, made a good first quarter, then a very good second quarter. So much so that they returned to the locker room with 14 lengths ahead.
And then, suddenly, Issoudun stopped playing. Or rather fell back into its flaws! “It’s symptomatic of our seasonpested Eric Giry at the end of the meeting. A good first half and then we thwart. We go too fast, we lose balloons and we persist in shooting when we don’t get there. And at the same time, Romorantin becomes skillful, especially three points. »»
As a result, visitors fell behind, passed in front of the third quarter (56-57) before unrolling the end of the game to win with ten lengths in advance (72-82). The statistics will retain that Noa Perrot has scored the last Issolduns points for this second year – difficult – in regional 3.
“Last yearsummarized Giry, For our first year in R3, our aggressiveness and our state of mind allowed us to hang good support. This time, we missed that, just as we lacked experience and lucidity at important moments. This is the consequence of a far too fair workforce, affected by injuries and absent. We were 8 today, seven last week. Add to this that we put the pressure at the start of the season. »»
So many reason that explains that Saint-Cyrienne will meet at the lower level next year. “With the matches that are played on Saturday, we will have at least our Sundays!” »» concluded the Issoldunois coach.
