Like the number of spectators present at the François Mitterrand space. There was no longer the shadow of a place in overheated spans.
Nose on the phone
Arrived early at the François Mitterrand area, the first Landes basketball supporters waited, his nose on the phone, looking at the first semi-final of this female league between Charleville-Mézières in Tarbes. What was their surprise at the whistle! Beaten to go to their cauldron, the Tarbaises reversed the trend by spouting their opponents 73-45. At the announcement of this unexpected result by the speaker Didier Goeytes, the Mitterrand spans reserved a nice ovation. There is no longer any doubt, before kick-off, all dreamed of a 100 % southwest final. And they got it!
Absent but present with the heart
Unconditional for a few seasons of the Montois cauldron, Pierre Robin was absent for this return semi-final. “We cannot do otherwise, we had planned a long-standing vacation with my wife,” he explained to us a few days ago. A few hours before this meeting, even in the Canaries, he did not fail to send a support message, on the Facebook page “Basket Landes in Mont2, the adventure continues”.
Rugby
You can be a supporter of Basket Landes and also be passionate about rugby. Some have waited outside that the hour is approaching by also looking at their phone the evolution of the semi-final between the UBB and the Toulouse stadium. Even if the semi-final had started, the victory of the UBB at the expense of the Toulouse stadium (35-18) quickly spread in the Landes cauldron.
And grandstand
While the elected officials were all at the forefront, notably the mayor Charles Dayot, Frédéric Dutin, Renaud Lagrave or even Éric Sargiacomo, the MP for Mont-de-Marsan Geneviève Darrieussecq attended this match in the midst of supporters in the stands. Almost incognito.
Banda
As in tradition, this match was animated by a banda. This Sunday, lous d’Orchigat de Rion-des-Landes did not lack breath to give the “the” in a boiler in boiling well before kick-off.
Explosion
At the end of the meeting, Marie-Laure Lafargue, Audrey Lacroix and Pierre Dartiguelongue fell into her arms, from each other. An explosion of joy that also says, too, on the pressure that weighed on their shoulders.
Dunky Dunk
