In the derby of National 2, the Agenais achieved a great feat by winning in the cauldron of Meilhan-sur-Garonne deemed impregnable (97-102).
This Saturday, March 12, 2022, all eyes were on the side of the Tertre in Meilhan-sur-Garonne on the occasion of the derby of the 20th day between the Garonne Avenir Basket du Marmandais and Agen BC.
Fifteen days after his setback in Marmande, Agen aimed to achieve a big blow against one of the cadors of the hen. However, the mission promised to be complicated in a meilhanais cauldron reputed to be impregnable with popular fervor.
However, this Saturday evening, the Agenais achieved the feat by winning 102 to 97 after 40 minutes disputed.
From the kick-off, the visitors took control to take the lead at the start of the second act (20-21). A period where Fred Rocco’s teammates confirmed (46-51).
After the “lemons”, Agen suffered a little more from the Meilhan ardor which allowed the locals to take control of this derby (76-72, 30th).
But that was without counting on the determination of the visitors who improved on the opposing defensive errors to clinch their twelfth victory of the season.
At the same time, BB Marmande won in Villeneuve-sur-Lot in the other derby of the evening.
A bad operation for Garonne AB which suddenly sees their neighbors come back on their heels.
For Agen, it will be necessary to confirm, next Saturday, by welcoming Nantes to establish this place a little more in the Top 5.
