For the last day of the first leg, the Entente Sud Haute-Marne travels this Sunday, November 17, at 3 p.m., to Hayange. In a very tight championship, today's trip turns out to be complicated for the Chaumonto-Langrois, victorious by a very small point (10-9), last weekend, against Pont-à-Mousson.
“Hayange played the climb to Federal 3 last season. It is a well-structured club, which is growing well. This Lorraine team has seen very little change in the off-season and this team is above Pont-à-Mousson,” explains Jacques Rachet, the forwards coach.
To come back with a positive result from Hayange, the Entente Sud Haute-Marne will have to raise the cursor and offer content superior to that of last Sunday. “It’s our hobby horse this season. We cannot relax. We will play on a synthetic turf and that will encourage the game,” adds Jacques Rachet.
The Chaumonto-Langrois will pass a test of character and intend, at a minimum, to come back with the defensive bonus point. “It would be nice not to leave empty. We don’t make the trip to visit Hayange. We really want to make a move. You should not play with the handbrake and let go of the horses. »
In terms of the workforce, the Sud Haut-Marnais must deplore a few absentees, with a shortage in the scrum half position. Let the supporters rest assured, the Chaumonto-Langroise team will look great. “Compared to last year, we have a little more depth in terms of the squad. This will be an opportunity for certain players to show themselves,” concludes Jacques Rachet.
