After the Club Péléen/CO Trénelle match on Wednesday January 8 and the Péléens’ victory 3 goals to 2, three R1 Championship matches are scheduled for Friday and Saturday evening (January 10 and 11). The main part of the discipline’s program for seniors concerns the 32nd finals of the Martinique Cup.
If the weekend is mainly devoted to the 32nd final of the Martinique Cup, R1 will be concerned with three matches.
In the update of the calendar with the late matches of the Championship to be played, the big poster of this evening takes place at the Louis-Xercès stadium in Sainte-Marie with a certain Samaritaine/Golden-Lion (match counting for the 6th day) .

Over the years, this opposition has become a huge classic of Martinique football. Both teams still have games to play as part of their respective schedule updates. Before this evening’s match, the Samaritaine has 35 points and is currently the runner-up to the Franciscan Club, the leader in the general classification (37 points).
The Golden Lion is 9e in the general classification with 28 points collected since the start of the championship.
For this resumption match, we must not leave any points on the way for those who want to finish among the very first. The staff of both clubs are aware of the importance of the match, hoping that the stakes do not paralyze the players.
Another meeting of the 6th day, at the Henri-Murano stadium, RC Saint-Joseph receives the Golden Star. After its French Cup adventure ended in Corsica against SC Bastia, how did Jérémy Ludon’s group digest this journey? The end-of-year break was a saving grace for recharging the physical and psychological batteries; for the Josephins it will be a question of relaunching the machine in front of their audience. Florian Goma’s teammates know that their daily life is the championship and from this evening, we will have to respond to stay in the game.

Faced with the Joséphins, the men of the Moutte road seem to find the right formula and a good dynamic, even if Jean-Marc Grégoire – their coach – says they are playing to maintain their position. Certainly, the Golden Star will not hesitate to take the victory points if the opportunity presents itself.
In the provisional R1 standings, RC Saint-Joseph and Golden-Star have 31 points and still have games in hand. On both sides, we know that the 4 points could weigh at the end of the event.
Please note that tomorrow evening, Saturday January 11, the Péléen Club will host the Franciscan Club as part of the 13e day of the Championship, a match scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Georges Charles-Alfred stadium in Morne-Rouge.
