The rains of the previous week seriously disrupted the resumption day in R1 with only 4 matches played out of the 7 scheduled. Thus, the leader Villenave, forced to rest, saw his pursuers make up part of their delay and get back in his wake. SAG Cestas, who hosted a still undefeated SA Mérignac team, struck hard: 6-1 victory. The most beautiful tribute to coach Vincent Bourhis, touched by a family death during the week.
Note that, while the Samistes conceded almost the same number of goals in 90 minutes as they had conceded in eleven days, the Cestadais scored their six goals by as many different scorers: Maso, Lerouge, Vaubois, Camplo, Gleyze and Moreau. “Realistically, we showed solidarity and generosity up to what we are capable of doing,” explains the Cestadais coach. We maintain contact with the top team and remain competitive for the future.”
Arlac-Mérignac gets off to a good start
Against FC Biganos, Arlac-Mérignac FCE also started the new year well by winning (3-0) with achievements from Valadié, Zérouni and Zamo for a well-controlled performance. “We had finished the calendar year with difficulty, in particular because we had had a fairly short summer break due to our participation in the play-offs,” observes Franck Dechaume, the coach of the Écureuils. The Christmas break did us a lot of good. Above all, it allowed us to regain good mental freshness and this success keeps us in the race.”
-Traveling to Saint-Jean-de-Luz, the other Girondes des Portes E2M lost (0-2), without merit, against the Basques de l’Arin.
