But that was without counting on yet another twist… Friday evening, November 22, the Saint-Philbert club learned that ES Maritime, which had lost on the green carpet against Vertouappealed to the Federation. So, on the banks of the Boulogne, we start dreaming of a possible trip to the southern hemisphere.

After Laval last year and a 2 to 1 defeat in the final moments, it is the professional team of Pau FC, which travels this Saturday, November 30, not to Saint-Philbert, but to the Challans stadium (the Mickaël stadium Landreau not being approved).

The team led by Nicolas Usaï is in the middle of the table with 19 points after 14 days of the championship and a record of 5 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats.

“Pau will arrive more wary”

But today, the big danger will be to think that we are capable of doing the same. Like the championship, I think Pau will arrive more wary than Laval last year.
