Layrac to confirm
Author of a good performance last week on the floor of Cugnaux, BC Layrac-Astafortort will try to confirm in its home arena against the Girondins de Castelnau. A second consecutive victory would be of great benefit to Ludovic Fabo's teammates, both on an accounting level and on a moral level.
“Victory on Saturday (8 p.m.) at home against Castelnau is imperative,” says Fred Albisua, BCLA coach. And even if they have a great team with players who have experienced the next level, like former GAB Waly Gueye, we will try to do what it takes to win. We must be able to reproduce what we showed in our last two away games, in Rodez and Cugnaux. »
Villeneuve to continue
For their part, the Villeneuvois want to achieve a third consecutive success, which they have not yet managed to do this season. A victory against Malaussanne could also allow the VBC to get closer to the lead by taking advantage of the opposition between its competitors for the fight for the podium.
“We will have to be wary of this Malaussanne team which is having a very good start to the season,” notes Brice Fréon, the Villeneuvois technician. We have a quality squad and we are capable of competing with everyone. We just need to find the right formula for the team to perform to its full potential. It's up to us to do the right thing and take advantage of a rather favorable schedule to get closer to the lead. Villeneuve is still in the game and we are motivated to stay there. »
The AGS girls at the relaunch
For the ladies of Grandfonds, it is urgent to raise the bar and collect points so as not to let themselves lose in the fight to remain in NF3. Defeated last week by Auch by two small points (67-69), Brayan Gutierrez's players must take advantage of the arrival of Elan Chalossais to break the negative spiral in which they find themselves after four consecutive defeats. Not so easy against a team that was still playing in Nationale 2 two seasons ago.
