Winner last year at Gamaches, Doullens was chosen this year to host the final of the Coupe de la Somme but will not be represented since it will pit Roye-Noyon (b) against Salouël Saleux. In total, between the veterans and departmental finals, five matches will take place at the neighboring René Niquet and Jacques Mossion stadiums.
“ Every year we change places, explains Pierre Lavalard, head of the cutting commission. We are trying to do a geographical turnover. »
Roye-Noyon (b) – Salouël Saleux, an unbalanced final?
Yet relegated and last in its group F of Regional 3 (2 wins, 1 draw, 19 losses), the Roye-Noyon reserve team managed to reach the final of the Coupe de la Somme by knocking down the holders of the Doullennais title on penalties in the semi-final, to face a team going the opposite way: Salouël Saleux. Promoted to R3 and first in Departmental 1 with a 16-point lead (17 wins, 2 draws, 2 defeats), the club from the Amiens suburbs has not experienced any major difficulties in its career since entering the fray in 4e tour (13 goals scored, 3 conceded).
“ Given the results and its consistency in the championship, I am betting on Salouël, estimated Pierre Lavalard. Even if we are not immune to a surprise. Still, Roye is going down, so it can be complicated in terms of motivation. »
