“I am satisfied with the victory. We were able to run the workforce and play the young people of Prénational. We are already preparing next year. We were playing against the last but they caused us problems throughout the match. We remained concentrated and we knew how to kill the match when it was necessary. I remember that it is a very good season with a great team, unlike last year when we had a very very big team. We knew we had a lot of weaknesses this year but the guys were united. We managed to manage so I say bravo. We finish fourth, we can only be happy when it happens like that. We will have to continue like this next year with our young people. »»
