This « LE » derby of this 12th day: Mérignac-Arlac, 3rd, three points at Villenave, with a match in the morning, then the SA Mérignac hospital (2 matches late) which lasted a long time. Using the Grand Registrar to understand this matchup – without having to wait for the fight for first place to qualify at the N3 gate – is an extremely appropriate thing to do. If there is one!
Franck Dechaume, the Arlac coach, sums up: “The champion is not a young man, but he is a coach who makes a good move. All the ingredients are there for a derby, between the two teams in the game, without a quality match. »
After the joy of qualifying for the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France and the exciting prospect of facing Laval (L2), the Samistes will have to get back to normal in the championship. “Final, this derby comes at the right time. There’s no problem with difficult things to focus on, the motivation is there! « , estimates Clément Tapy, the SAM instructor, who believes that this « extends the current good dynamic to approach the second part of the champion in a favorable position. »
Villenave suspicious
Building on its five successes in a row, leader Villenave will receive a formation from Boé who is stubbornly hanging on to extricate himself from the bottom of the ranking. “A match of excellence which requires great vigilance,” said Damien Bonnave, the JSV coach. Another Girondin derby with prizes, FC Portes Entre-deux-Mers and FC Biganos. If the Boïens will play to maintain contact with the leading teams, Yvon Sombodey’s locals will work to gain valuable points to move away from the zone of turbulence. SAG Cestas, first pursuer of JS Villenviense, will have to regain their offensive efficiency and return to success against ASMUR to maintain their rank at the top of the table. Stuck at the other end of the ranking, FC Langonnais will try to live up to the Arin Luzien side to which it is traveling.
