The smile on the faces of Castelbriantais returned last week while the club has been in difficulty lately. After having collected 3 points at home for the first time against Granville (3-2), Papy Leye's men will have the opportunity to confirm this weekend against Avranches who only have one more point in the standings. on the eve of the meeting. “The victory last week was very important especially as we had not yet won at home this season and given the current context, these 3 points do us good. We had had a fairly difficult week with a very small squad but we were able to do what was necessary to beat a direct competitor” says Châteaubriant coach Leye.

This weekend, the Castelbriantais will face an Avranchaise team which also remains on a victory against Saumur and which has only suffered one defeat in the last five meetings. To leave this trip with a positive result, Papy Leye insists on the efforts required. “We will have to continue to play as we do, whether away or at home, hoping to have the success that has eluded us a lot since the start of the season. We'll have to play our game.”
