It’s back to work for the four clubs in Indre-et-Loire

This Sunday, the Women’s Pre-National is back in action. A look at the first matches of the four Tours clubs involved.

Fondettes
Agglo 41

Fondettes can still claim to play at the top of the table. Unfortunately, the accumulation of injuries, including that of the latest arrival, Emma Héron (broken nose), risks disrupting the start of the season. “We’ll have to keep our heads down for a few weeks before we’re all there,” sighs, fatalistically, Laura Doradoux. However, there is no question of Donnadieu and her teammates missing the start against Agglo 41, a team largely within their reach.

Chartres
Mountains

Monts is continuing. Bastien Bourhis has added Nawel Belhaj (ex-SAS) to his squad to strengthen his back line and has seen the return of Mathilde Valton Cureau. The Montoises have a great card to play and should not be far from the podium. Sunday, against the young Chartres team who are discovering the PNF, the opportunity will be great to display their ambitions from the start.

Boigny
ESO

Bertille Jublin is likely to be sidelined for a long time due to a serious ankle sprain. Michael Sibot will therefore have to do without his charismatic leader but also without Océane Porterat who arrived this summer, also injured. He will still be able to count on the experience of Amandine Hallié and Cloé Rebouilleau but also on Aline Cheron, who seems to be the good Oésienne pick of the off-season. The trip to Boigny, one of the favorites, is likely to be difficult.

Bourges
MSV The City of Ladies

First steps in PNF for Saheed Mouti at the head of MSV Touraine Basket, now associated with La Ville-aux-Dames. All the lights are green with a squad modulated around a Gynepolitan framework, completed by two Saint-Avertinoises, Camille Debelle and Pauline Migeon. The arrival of Niki Kovalova should bring an additional grinta to a group that already did not lack it. The trip to Bourges, where it is never easy to win, will be an interesting first test.
