Positioned in the top five, despite its defeat conceded last weekend at Mainvilliers-Chartres HB (35-30), Hennebont-Lochrist HB, receives, this Saturday, in its cauldron of Kerlano, Grand Poitiers HB, currently third in the men’s N1 championship. This meeting will decide the first leg.
It will then remain for the Morbihannais, one last push to give against CPB Rennes HB, on December 21, before tasting the joys of the end of year celebrations.
“We have been traveling badly since the start of the season! »
“Before the long international break (resumption on February 8, 2025), we will receive twice, which is an advantage insofar as our team has been traveling poorly since the start of the season,” explains Hennebontais coach Valentin Luy. With a mixed record: “We won only once (Saint-Cyr), drew twice (Cesson, Rezé) and lost three times,” recalls the HLHB technician. In Mainvilliers-Chartres, we experienced the same difficulties as in Libourne. I think we prepare poorly for our away matches…”
An observation which must push his team to give their all before moving into 2025. “To end the year, we face two big pieces, starting with Poitiers, this Saturday. Our objective is of course to win this match, despite Korentin Luy’s three-month absence for professional reasons,” notes Valentin Luy, who hopes to keep in touch with the top of the rankings to spend the holidays warm.
