Unusual times for the last day of men’s Nationale 3 with matches taking place on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. For the three Lot-et-Garonnais clubs in the running, this final round of the 2023-2024 edition will have almost no stakes.
For the Villeneuvois assured of finishing on the podium, there is still hope of grabbing second place behind Coteaux du Luy. For this to happen, Adama Diouf’s teammates must win on the Stade Montois floor and Réal Chalossais lose at home against Stade Toulousain. The meeting in Landes will also be an opportunity for the VBC to find Christian Ortega, coach of the greens and whites during the VBC’s last stint in NM2, on the opposing bench. In the Villeneuvois ranks, we will note the absence of the injured Florian Champié. “The objective of Sunday’s match will be above all to have fun and to end the season well in a confrontation without stakes,” notes Michel Baldas, president of the Villeneuve Basket Club.
For their part, Frédéric Albisua’s Layracais travel to Panazol with the aim of consolidating their fourth place against an opponent who is hot on their heels in the standings. A place that the people of Montois can still covet. “On Sunday, we will travel to get a victory which would allow us to finish alone in fourth place,” admits Fed Albisua, the BCLA coach. And even if we will be deprived of Marlas, Tastet and Victor Boué, we are capable of winning. If we lose, we can still finish in a four-team tie and finish in seventh place. A victory would perfectly conclude this great season. »
Colayrac must take care of his exit
The only team to play at home on Sunday, JIL Colayrac will make one last stand in Nationale 3 before returning to the regional championship next season. Authors of a nice end to the season with a reduced squad, the green and white face the JSA Bordeaux reserve which travels to the banks of the Garonne to validate its maintenance at national level.
“We have shown a good level for several matches, even if we only play with seven,” explains Alexandre Barberan, the Colayrac president. Against Oloron for example, we again put in a superb performance and the players present played their role perfectly. Sunday against the JSA, the objective will of course be to win, but also to have fun and to please all our supporters with a great day for the whole club. »
