The young MCV players leave the competition, beaten after a promising start. Their coaches express a lively disappointment in the face of this missed opportunity.
The great adventure of the mesters is, alas! Completed in the round of 16 of the French Federal 2 championship, on the stitching field, beaten by the Landes of Villeneuve-de-Marsan.
After their success the previous weekend, in the ranks of the group, we fed the hope of crossing this tour in order to reach the quarter-final, but this meeting did not give what we could hope. However, she had started well: after five minutes, the Tarn-et-Garonnaises opened the scoring with a transformed test.
The beginning was ideal for the players of Jérôme Carrié and Jean-Philippe Arbia. But the rest, with a big domination which had lasted a good thirty minutes, was not materialized on the brand board. Handmons, bad choices … In short, the collective was gradually. And even shortly before, the girls of the MCV collected a test that brought their opponents back to two points (7 to 5).
A frustration shared by the coaches
In the second period, no rebellion, no desire to defeat. What a pity, as the two coaches, Jean-Philippe Arbia and Jérôme Carrié:
“We don’t understand. In the Occitania championship and the final stages that we have played before, we met much stronger teams than that of Sunday, and we beat them. This afternoon, we missed this match completely.
We are both frustrated, and at the same time angry, because we had the opportunity to pass one more tour. They did not deliver the service required to win in a final phase. Opposite, they would have been stronger, very well, but that was not the case. There were incomprehensible faults. »»
