After four trips and the withdrawal of Cénac during the first match scheduled at Monpazier, the Stadium will finally play at home, Sunday November 17. Against Villefranche-du-Périgord, a neighbor who looks like him.
The two clubs emerged from their slumber last season and are doing quite well at the start of the year (5th and 2nd respectively). Until then, the team coached by Jérôme Delanis for the three-quarters and Mike Costanzo for the forwards has a record of two wins, one draw and two defeats. “It’s going pretty well. We managed to recruit in the off-season by targeting certain positions,” explains the first quoted. Who thinks very quickly about the next meeting. “It’s a meeting that will count. Apart from the fact that it is a derby, we have to put in a good match for a home first. This will also be important for ranking. »
Six receptions in a row
It will be a test against a still undefeated USV. “It’s a team that has elements of experience and that will be hard to beat, we are well aware of that,” adds Delanis.
The Monpaziérois have still been able to gain confidence since the start of the championship, like the last trip to the leader, Beaulieu, which ended in a setback (36-25). “We can still have some regrets about this first part of the championship, because I think we had the means to take a few more points,” continues the coach.
From now on, Monpazier will string together six receptions with the idea of securing a place on the podium, synonymous with qualification for the regional round of 16. “We will remain cautious but it is obvious that we have set ourselves objectives. Last year, we had a good first part of the championship before having a more complicated period due to lack of squad. We already know that this will not be the case this season because the group has strengthened thanks to the good work of our leaders. We must also keep in mind that it is not because we are going to play a lot at home that the season will be easy,” concludes Jérôme Delanis.
