To confront one another, despite the cold, that is the ambition of RC Saint-Joseph. The club benefits from optimal conditions to prepare for its match against ESOF Vendée la Roche-sur-Yon, an N3 club.
The Josephine delegation is based at the National Football Center in Clairefontaine, high-quality facilities which allow the Racing group to prepare in good conditions.
With two training sessions each day, the work plan is being followed without difficulty for the time being, the technical staff and the medical team are taking great care of the players.
Wednesday November 27, RC Saint-Joseph played a “friendly or preparation” match against Jeunesse Évolution des Abymes, the Guadeloupean club qualified for the 8th round of the Coupe de France.
If the score is not the priority in such opposition, RC Saint-Joseph, after leading 2 to 0, was joined at the mark by Jeunesse Évolution, 2 all. The Joséphins won this match of 2 periods of 45 minutes with a score of 3 goals to 2.
For confidence in the context of this preparation, this result is interesting
It's cold, but we are working and giving ourselves the means to be there on Saturday. This stay in Clairefontaine in excellent conditions further strengthens the cohesion of the group, it is a positive experience at all levels, the group lives well and wants to spend another round. La Roche-sur-Yon is a division above us, but it's up to us to do everything we can to succeed in our match.

The evolution of the Josephin group and the general behavior of the team are praised by the managers of the French Football Federation (FFF) and the Martinique league. Punctuality, respect and dedication to the task, Florian Goma's gang, Captain Josephin, is on a mission.
Acclimatization continues, but after two days of training with two daily sessions, the Josephin collective is gaining strength and should be ready.
The group lives well and the guys have known each other for several seasons for the most part. Playing an 8th round is an opportunity for the group and they want to do well and best represent Saint-Joseph and Martinique. Each day that passes, at the staff level, we feel this desire to do well. This opposition against Jeunesse Evolution FC de Guadeloupe was a good trial run, a great opportunity to face a good quality club with commitment and intensity, we are satisfied with these 90 minutes played.
