After having disposed of Guingamp (N3) in the first round, this summer, in the Côtes d'Armor, before the opening of the championship, Lanester Handball returns to the Coupe de France on Saturday November 9, 2024. This time with home advantage against CPB Rennes, currently sixth in its geographic N1 group. For the Dragons, who play one level above, in the federal group, where they are still penultimate (3 points in 7 matches), it is the opportunity to relaunch after a one-week truce. “This little break was good and the Cup comes at the right time to prepare for the resumption of the championship, which remains our priority,” coach Lukas Buchta makes no secret.
“The team is playing better and better”
The team remains with two disappointing results in view of the content proposed against Dreux (28-28, 7th day) and Draguignan (31-30, 8th day). “We have not yet been rewarded, but the team is playing better and better and the squad is becoming more and more complementary”, positive the Czech coach of Lanester who will also be able to rely on the feedback from the backs Walid Bouhaj and Paul Lefebre and winger Meddy Hoguel-Siphar.
