This last day of the prenational championship was fatal to the Albigensians, last in the pool before the game. They must imperatively impose themselves to hope to stay in the division, depending on the other results.
The defeat in Castera has folded the case, the Tarnais are demoted and will start the regional 2 championship next September.
The 2 teams remained at the shoulder to shoulder during a first quarter pocketed by the Albigensians of a small point (16-17).
Aboudou and Sfiligoi then accelerated the game, Diawara and his teammates then took a blow on the head, the Albigensians were led to lemons, 39-28.
-The 3rd quarter did not change much in the scoring, Wirtz and Jéridi having an equal game with Aurensan and Siligoy, Albi remained lagging around 10 minutes from the Sirène, 60-51.
Norris and Ralcheche then tried to pick up the score, but Castera managed his credit perfectly to win the match and send the Albigensians to regional 2.
A disappointment and a lot of regrets for coach Olivier Nagou: “The group is disappointed with the result, because we fought well until the end. This defeat condemns us to the descent. However, the contribution of young players who joined the team at the end of the season allows us to consider better days around a team that will be revengeful the next season”.
