Following in the footsteps of the RCV 1st team which continues its journey in the French championship, the cadets play their place in the final and the juniors play theirs.
Training is also the workhorse of the RCV and the daily work of educators. As proof, the cadet and junior boys’ teams are having a very good season, each of which can dream of the famous wooden board.
Everything will be decided this Saturday for these young people from Villeneuve. From 3 p.m., the girls coached by Paul Minetto, Serge Malvestio and Nicolas Delpech will open the ball on the Gabarret lawn in Landes. Facing the Basques of Saint-Palais, they will try to reach the final of their level 2 championship. “We have a serious group who work well in training. At the start of the season, I only had 12 players in the squad Today, we are 23” confides the co-coach but also pillar of the first team Paul Minetto. The latter is convinced that his team can continue this great human adventure and why not win a shield. “Our girls are also motivated by the excellent results of the flag team. This gives them even more energy on the pitch.”
At 3:30 p.m., it will be the juniors’ turn to return to the stage in their national championship in the local final. But in Colayrac, the formation of the trio Romain Jolly, Jérôme Martignago and Jérémy Rigal will have a hard time facing the RCBB. “Our opponent will be a big favorite in this match. Firstly because we have already lost twice to this team during the regular phase. And then above all because our 3/4 line is decimated by numerous injuries. To achieve a feat “, we will have to produce the perfect match but also have a little luck” says co-trainer Jérôme Martignago.
Beyond the sporting result, the most important thing for these two teams will be to have fun on the green rectangle and to share strong moments. Slices of life always unite a group and make it even stronger over time.
