In Ploudalmézeau, Sunday January 19, 2025, on the occasion of their girls' and boys' championship day, the Arzelliz basketball announced the holding of the 16th and 8th finals of the Men's U18 French Cup on Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 February 2025 at the Coum sports hall, in Portsall. “We are delighted and honored to have been chosen to host a competition of such a level, here at the end of our Finistère, in the new Coum sports hall inaugurated in November 2022,” rejoiced Marc Le Beller, the club president.
On Saturday, Cholet, defending champion, will be opposed to Angers at 5:15 p.m., then the little Breton thumb, Rance estuaire Basket, will have the delicate task of bringing down Le Mans, who defeated Ujap Quimper in the previous round, to 20 h. The next day, the round of 16 between the two winners will take place at 3:30 p.m.
Victories for senior boys and girls
In the meantime, Sunday was a busy day. From 10:30 a.m., the U13s took part in an introduction to the trickshot, or how to score a basket in the most improbable way, led by Hugo Papineau, from departmental committee 29, and three students in master's in sports management at UBO ( University of Western Brittany). Then, the senior men won against Ergué-Armel (Quimper), just like the women against Quimper. Before nearly 200 club members and their families shared the Galette des Rois in a friendly atmosphere.
