At 6 p.m., usual lineup for the women between Eclair BB and Golden-Star BB. The Salesians are the reigning champions and seem to have reached a good level at the start of the season. In the ½ final of the event, the Eclair dismissed AS Aigle Noir, a remake of last season's play-off final. Score of 55 to 40 in favor of the girls of coach Kathleen Alger.
Opposite the Golden-Star, which is presented as a team in reconstruction, has managed to avoid the pitfalls of the competition and finds itself in the final. The qualification obtained with a clear score of 52 to 26 against the Golden Lion on October 26 allowed the Foyalaises to calmly prepare for this final.

Éclair/Golden-Star, undoubtedly one of the best posters for women's basketball, the ingredients are there for the public to witness a great encounter.
The last opposition between the Golden-Lion and the Golden-Star at a high stage of competition dates back to 2016. Between two flagship clubs of “péyi” basketball, it was the Golden-Lion which was crowned champion of Martinique, title retained in 2017 and 2018 by the Josephins without facing the Golden Star.

Since then, the josephins have experienced a decline and are also in the Regional when the “Etoiles d’or” are in pre-national gentlemen.
The Foyalais are the reigning Antilles-Guyana champions and leave with the favors of the forecasts. They like this type of meeting and putting their name on the list of winners of the Coupe de France, local area, is a goal of Richard Dumont and his comrades.

The gang of Emile Fourlin, the Golden Lion coach, has prepared as best as possible for this final and thus defend their colors and chances against a Foyalaise team which seems better armed. Will the 7 points lead for the Josephins be enough to keep the Josephins at bay? ?
A final is played to be won, this final between Golden(s) will obviously bring back good memories to Martinican basketball enthusiasts, let's play and let the orange ball emerge victorious from this evening of finals.
♦ NOTE: the winners of the day will be opposed to their counterparts from Guadeloupe next November 23at the Rivière-Salée sports center in Martinique.
