N1M: Hennebont wants to build on its good momentum against US Mayenne

Hennebont-Lochrist HB and Union Sud Mayenne have been sailing in the same waters in the National 1 rankings for eight days. The Morbihannais are eighth (14 points), tied with their opponent, whom they are only ahead of with the difference of aim.

“We are going to host an opponent who has made five appearances in a row. This team, which started at the pre-national level, is complementary, with stereotypical play and a good back base,” warns Hennebont-Lochrist co-coach, Valentin Luy.

Four games without defeat for the HLHB

Nothing to worry too much about the residents of Kerlano, who remain in four matches without defeat, including three parity results in a row. “I have some regrets about our draw conceded in Cesson. On the other hand, the one acquired at home against HBC Nantes and the last one obtained at Rezé (crowned French champion last season), are good results. As far as the team is concerned, we had a week off, the players who have been in high demand since the start of the season needed it,” adds Valentin Luy, who expects a high-intensity match against the Mayennais, who remain on two defeats in a row. A tradition in Kerlano, which will once again be a full house for this meeting.
