It’s the last before a well-deserved vacation! From 2 p.m., this Sunday, June 9, at the Georges-Dodin stadium in Chaumont, the finals of the main and consoling Haute-Marne cups will take place, with the presence of four Departmental 1 teams, including the recent champion, namely the Diane d’Eurville-Bienville. This promises great suspense and a great party!
Main Haute-Marne Cup: a promising clash between Bologna and Eurville-Bienville
For this final of the main Haute-Marne cup, we could not have dreamed of a better poster, since it will pit neither more nor less than the first two of the Departmental 1 championship. Just crowned with their title of Departmental champion, the Dianists would like to end the season with a new trophy, as explained by Didier Boulant, the Eurvillo-Bienville coach.
“Like Bologna, we each have one victory in the championship. This finale will serve as “beautiful”. It will be a great party on and around the field. Our challenge is to achieve the double. It’s never easy to reach the final. With Bologna, we know each other well. We have prepared well for this meeting and may the best win! It’s still sport. In the end, there is no hierarchy. »
Eurville-Bienville will be able to count on a good number of supporters who will make the trip to Chaumont. “There is enthusiasm in the town,” adds Didier Boulant. Like his dianist counterpart, Christophe Fauconnier, Bologna coach, is enjoying this final.
“It’s a nice shock. It is the logical continuation of the championship. This main Haute-Marne cup final is a great reward for my squad. By finishing second in the championship, the season was successful. With this final we have the opportunity to take our revenge, even if a cup match is different from a championship match. At the end of the season, there is a lot of fatigue. Despite everything, this final is a beautiful moment to experience. It’s an opportunity to have a good time,” declares Christophe Fauconnier, who will have a full group.
Like Eurville-Bienville, Bologna will not lack supporters.
Consoling Haute-Marne Cup: US Biesloise aims for a new trophy against Maranville
Winner of the main Haute-Marne Cup last year, Biesles is back at it again, but this time in the final of the consoling Haute-Marne Cup. The Bieslois, who finished third in the Departmental 1 championship, expect a balanced match against Maranville, as confided Alexandre Pernet, the coach of US Biesloise.
“The two teams know each other well. We have faced each other three times this season. We lost in the Coupe de France, before taking our revenge in the championship, winning the first leg and the return leg. The matches have always been close. This season we lacked bench depth in the league. Our goal, since the round of 16, has been to win this cup. We expect a close match. Maranville has offensive qualities. It’s one of the best attacks in the championship. You will have to be vigilant and exploit the slightest errors of the opponent. In the end, it is important to be realistic. »
Same story with Maranville, which expects an indecisive final, as Guillaume Dehouck, the Maranville strategist, points out. “Many people note that Biesles is the favorite in view of the championship. We lost twice to this team. For the club, it was a year of transition with 40% turnover. Our second part of the season was better. The mayonnaise had to set. We had up to twelve injured at one time. We will compete in this final with our weapons. I hope it will be a great party. »
It must be said that it has been 35 years since the Maranvillois last played in a final. So they will do everything to win the trophy.
