Accustomed to playing extensions in recent years, this time the Caen BC will not be entitled to RAB. The play-in, which he was aimed at leaving the first part of the magnificent season for a promoted, will be played without him. Four days after having spanked by Saint-Chamond, he lost, Friday, May 2, against another direct competitor, Vichy, definitively abandoning his final phase hopes.
No more stakes at the end of the season
This time, the CBC will be able to feed some regrets because it has started the last quarter in mind, from a small point (62-63), after having run a long time after the score and before undergoing a violent return of stick (31-12 in the last quarter). Long maintained alive by Kentan Facey and Marc-Eddy Norelia, the Caennais once again lacked consistency.

They struggled to contain the passion of Sébastien Cape and Assemian Moularé and finally conceded a logical reverse in a room where Vichy did not lose in 2025 (nine successes). The Caen BC, which still has to go to Rouen and welcome Orleans, pulls the tongue. To present a balanced assessment on arrival, he will have to win his last two games. Unlikely. For him, the stake has disappeared and the holidays are close.
