French Cup. The Canétoises were hot, but qualified for the 32nd finals where they will face the Burgundians.
They did it. And avenged the boys, eliminated a week earlier by Versailles in the 7th round (1-3). By winning 3-1 at Andrezieux, a D1 team led by former Lyon pro François Clerc, two divisions below, the Lionesses entered the history of Catalan women's football yesterday afternoon. And did better than the last two seasons where their epic ended in the 64th. There, the protégés of the president of the section Patrice Gaillard and coach Hubert Lemonnier will continue their journey in 32nd against a Burgundian club from Regional 1, their level, Chatenoy-le-Royal, undefeated since the start of the season. “We can be proud of this qualification but it was complicated, explains Hubert Lemonnier, during the dinner break, at an area in Montélimar. Even though Andrézieux plays in D1, they often had possession. We attacked them on the counterattack. And finally only breathed in stoppage time with this liberating goal from Chloé Remerand.”. After four rounds against ASPTT Montpellier (R1), 2-1, Béziers (R2) 3-1 and Pays d'Oc (Tarn, D1) 7-0 and therefore yesterday Andrézieux, Canet will not necessarily be favorite December 14, date of the 32nd. An exploit near Chalon-sur-Soane would propel them into the round of 16, with the entry of D1 Arkema clubs. The Catalans will then play a League Cup match in St-Jean-de-Vedas (D1) and against the Albi reserve in the Regional 1 Championship. “We moved up to R1 last year, we qualified for the 32nd of the Coupe de France. This proves that there is a dynamic in a club which fully supports us”, continues the technician.
