In North Finistère, one step worse in the Coupe de France

Coupe de France (6th round)

The Coupe de France is not really a Brest tradition, at least as far as SB29 is concerned. However, around Brest, the North-Finistère zone has always had at least four representatives in the 6th round of the competition over the last five years. The annual results, noted only by the qualifications of Milizac and Saint-Renan this weekend, appear to be a little bland. “It’s factual, there are only two of us left,” notes Yohann Boulic, coach of a Milizac team that fell to Pont-l’Abbé (0-3). We also see that the matches are more and more difficult since there is no longer any overtime. »

Four teams in South Finistère

In fact, the leveling brought about by this modification, which came into effect in 2020, does not really concern the people of Northern Finistère. Of the six clubs defeated on Sunday, all were against a team of equivalent level. “The cup, by definition, is not a big deal,” recalls Yohann Boulic, whose team will try to equal the record for participation in the 7th round.

The setback in the 3rd round at Stade Plabennécois, systematically qualified for the 6th round in recent years, does not help to improve the record of the Breton point. In the south of the department, four teams remain in the running: Concarneau (N1), Trégunc (R1), Quimper Ergué-Armel (R2) and Carhaix-Plouguer (R3).
