But the main issue of this end of the season is already behind the Sarthoise: maintenance has been officially acquired for two weeks. A real puff of oxygen for the group, which has achieved its objective despite a last frustrating defeat at home against Vertou (61-62). This tight match, in which the players of Saint-Pavin believed for a long time in victory, once again demonstrated their combativeness and their collective progress.

Finish on a good note
Facing Laval, the team will therefore address this meeting without pressure, but with the desire to close the season with a great performance. It is important to finish cleanly, to stay focused and to play our game. Laval is a physical and effective team, but we want to show that we too have progressed
slides the coach Guillaume Coulbaut.
The goal will also be to have fun on the field, in a match without an accounting issue but rich in symbolic. For some players, it may be the last match under the Pavinois colors, while others will already start to project themselves to next season.
