Mont-de-Marsan (2e pool B, 43 pt)
Greater Poitiers (1er pool A, 48 pt)
After finishing first in Pool A, the Poitevines are two games away from a possible return to N2F, leaving in 2022, in the event of success in the semi-finals against Mont-de-Marsan, second in Pool B with eleven wins, three draws and four defeats. “Our goal at the start of the season was to maintain, now it’s just a bonussmiles Romain Etcheverry, the coach of Grand Poitiers. We had a serious season, the girls were very invested. It’s a bit of their reward, we’re going to try to have fun playing well and we’ll see if we’re there in the two matches where we’ll be able to gauge ourselves against the South-West group. »
A former French international at Mont-de-Marsan
Because Mont-de-Marsan, where Karine Rassaby’s teammates are traveling this Saturday without Angela Kostencovska, has a very experienced squad, notably with the presence of the former French international Sabrina Legenty (49 caps), now aged 44 years old, or Sonia Bonche-Ribouleau, the best goalkeeper in the group (13.5 saves per match) having experienced the highest French level under the colors of Toulon and Nice. But the Landaises’ game does not rely on these two individuals and if Emma Duthil is the top scorer (5.3 goals on average), the score is very well distributed, proof of the strength of this collective.
“We will try to get a result there to give ourselves a chance when we return home (Saturday May 11 at 8 p.m. at Bois d’Amour) to play a great match in front of our audienceindicates Romain Etcheverry. To do this, you have to give yourself a chance in the first match. We will have to continue to rely on our combat values, defending well to be able to project ourselves. We want to live and die by what we have produced. If we are here, it’s because we did things our way and I don’t want to disavow ourselves by changing everything in relation to the adversary. Yes, there will be experienced players in front of us but everything is playable. »
