Undefeated leader before the start of this 6th day, Tourlaville “B” lost for the first time of the season Saturday November 2, 2024 on the Picauville lawn (4-2).

Despite Baptiste Wœrther’s opening score in the first period, the Tourlavillais paid for their lack of efficiency.

Our first half lacked control and Tourlaville could have taken a bigger advantage.

But his players never gave up and, despite everything, managed to come back to the score just before the break. “The second period was much more balanced and we even took the advantage from a corner. What I appreciated the most was our reaction after the Tourlaville equalizer. We pass by again a few minutes later, which shows the strength of character of the group and a desire not to give up. »

A time of adaptation

This victory rewards a team that few people saw capable of bringing down the AST, which adds spice to this success. “The boys were able to confirm after our victory acquired in Beaumont two weeks previously. We were hosting the leader and we were keen to show that the match was not a foregone conclusion. The group was very young this weekend, I congratulate the players for this victory. »

For three matches, the ES Plain players have been transformed. They remain on two victories and a draw and settle back into the soft underbelly of the championship, after a complicated start where they had a series of three defeats in as many matches.

A complicated start which can be explained by a copious schedule (Editor’s noteFCEH “B”, Créances, Bricquebec during the first three days) but also by the departure of Yves Bourget, after four seasons at the head of the first team. The workforce thus had to adapt to a new way of operating, even if the appointment of Laurent Leloy did not completely shake up habits on the Picauville side. The new coach of ES Plain is far from being unknown to the club since he is the vice-president and was an assistant in previous seasons.

With him, President Lecuirot chose a certain form of continuity, which now seems to be reflected in the results.
