As expected, the reception of the CTC Horizon Nord is Toulouse II last Saturday did not give birth to a large suspense. Already assured of the maintenance, the Toulousains presented themselves in Capdenac in reduced staff, only six players on the match sheet. A configuration that did not allow visitors to keep the distance against applied Albacians. After a first quarter of observation (21-15), the Alba gradually widened the gap to unroll without incident until a final score without appeal: 86-47.
A victory that allows the “yellows” to stay fully in the race for first place, with two real finals to come: a capital trip to Vacquiers-Bouloc on May 3, followed by the reception of Quint-Fonsegrives on May 10. Two shocks that will determine the outcome of this second phase and the possible qualification for the regional semi-finals, a gateway to the title of champion of regional 3.
Cup semi-final tomorrow night at home
But before that, another challenge awaits the Albacians. This Friday at 9 p.m. Friday, they will try to get a place in the Aveyron Cup final. To do this, it will be necessary to dominate Millau, a team which evolves a level above and which will come with the ambition to impose its law in a “yellow cauldron” which is announced boiling. Guaranteed atmosphere for an evening which already promises to be a highlight of this end of the season.
