Saturday May 3, 2025 at 7 p.m., the MGC Handball plays Saint-Affrique for the 21st day of Prenational.
This Saturday at 7 p.m., the prenational boys’ team travels to Saint-Affrique on behalf of the 21e Championship day. The equation is simple for the teammates of Rémi Sartre: a victory and it is a barragist place for the N3 accession that will be activated.
Even if on paper the MGC is favorite against the red lantern of the championship, nothing will be easy for the men of Florent Bodin: “It is like a derby between two clubs that have had a real rivalry in the past. Even if they are convicted in the championship, the Saint-Affrique players will not let us go, and if they can make us doubt, they will do it.”
Returns that do good
After a raging defeat before the truce, the group has rested well and some feedback will bring significant added value to the Mendois. Notable return, that of the veteran Florian Coste who after two months of stopping will quietly resume the competition with the aim of gaining strength at this end of the season and bringing all his experience to approach theoucherets.
-Another good news, the feedback from Paul Saleil and Raphaël Vaugelade which will provide real solutions for the rotation of field players.
For the moment only the absences of Captain Antoine Cuminal and the goalkeeper Gaétan Roche are certain. There remains a doubt about the presence of Erwan Pot for professional reasons.
“A fantastic season”
For the coach, “We have to approach this match as a final and resume the pace after three weeks without competition. The players responded after ten days of rest. We have a fantastic season, we are promoted and in a favorable position to play a N3 accession, it is not nothing and especially not trivial. We must finish the work to hope to live an exceptional end of the season.”
A victory in land in Aveyron would certainly ensure an exciting end of the season for the players of President Anne Delmas and would validate all the work accomplished for two seasons now.
