Amateur handball (National 3 women). The women of Saint-Girons HBC have their backs to the wall

Saint-Girons HBC – Toulouse Féminin HB III, Saturday at 9 p.m., Buffelan gymnasium, in Saint-Girons.- The machine is seized but the mechanics are there. It did not evaporate in the heart of a summer which was certainly not as studious as it should have been. The SGHBC players are currently unable to build up enough confidence to free themselves from the weight of lead that has fallen on their backs since the beginning of September. At the start of the season where nothing went in the right direction, from injuries to match contexts, nothing allowed this group to escape from this dynamic where confidence evaporates from the moment it begins to appear .
To escape this infernal cycle, we must perhaps find a less severe adversity than usual, in order to be able to add the ingredients, one after the other, and for the mayonnaise to set. The arrival of Toulouse FH III, a team which is experiencing a start to the season similar to that of the Ariégeoises, can serve as a trigger for a collective which, in any case, finds itself up against the wall.

Forget the issue, rediscover the pleasure

A defeat on Saturday evening would be a real blow in the project of maintaining the SGHBC at the highest regional level, and, without it being a national drama, it would happen very early in the Couserannaises season.
Even if victory would not be accessible against a collective that is too strong for the locals, we must above all rediscover the passion for the game and the desire to do well, for a collective that has appeared too often tense or hasty in recent weeks during its various outings. With the return of injuries, the Saint-Gironnaises will also be able to encourage the emulation of the group, which expands from week to week between the replays and the convincing performances produced by the residents of the reserve team, who would be well shown the tip of their nose as a flag team.
The Oranges and Blues are therefore, above all, keen to play as a team, in front of an audience who are just waiting for a spark to support them in their quest. And, to play as a team, you have to play a sport that they know well since they showed some great things last June. It is high time to rediscover the pleasure of the game and to forget the stakes a little, for the Durrieu gang.
