This Sunday, the reception of Malaussanne was an opportunity for the ladies of Foulayronnes to relaunch themselves in this Regional 2. Mission accomplished against the dolphin of this group, with a defensive performance of very good level (49-41). “I am satisfied with this match because we needed to win, admitted Jean-Yves Boucaud, the FBB coach. We have to do our best to finish in the top three.”

“We absolutely wanted to find the desire, the rhythm and the fighting spirit, added the president of Foulayron, Jérôme Merliaud. In this sense, our objective has been achieved. We see that with the level of play we showed today, we can do well in this championship. »

Future assured

But, beyond the pennant team, the club from the Agenese suburbs does a lot of work on training, especially young girls. “Foulayronnes is historically more of a women’s club,” notes Jérôme Merliaud. We have nevertheless created with Pont-du-Casse the CTC Elan du Seguran to widen our basketball offer to everyone, but it is true that girls occupy an important part of the club. »

It should also be noted that beyond the seniors, the club has two U18 women’s teams, enough to ensure the club’s future in the long term. “We really want young people to be able to project themselves into the future by seeing the opportunity to evolve in the region within the club, continues the president. We hope to be able, from next year, to integrate certain young people little by little, even if we know that the transition from U18s to seniors is always a bit complicated. »

With the desire to develop the pennant team into a real showcase for the club, while relentlessly pursuing the training of the youngest, Foulayronnes Basket-Ball intends to participate in the revival of women’s basketball in Lot-et-Garonne. The department needs it as the regional level teams are sorely lacking.
