Jégun 70-Also II 55 (MT : 35-32).
In the semi-final of the Trophée G.-Estève, the Jégunoise seniors I team received Auch BC II. The match got off to a flying start, with both teams wanting to win this battle. Last Wednesday, remember that the Auscitains had beaten the Jégunois, who wanted their revenge at all costs! But, in this first quarter, the 2 teams are equal: Jégun 18, Auch II 17.
The second quarter is identical, the 2 teams fight and travel the field at lightning speed! A score like the game.
The third quarter is to the advantage of the locals, who are well in defense, and win by 58 to 41. The public holds their breath, but thinks that the match is over. It’s a misunderstanding of the visitors, who, in the 4th minute, with a 10-point gap, are back in the race. A little slump but the morale is there. The faults accumulate and the Jégunois score points with free baskets, encouraged by the public, who believes in it! An accessit to Mathieu, who is everywhere, with each fallout of the ball, and to Thomas, who was bleeding! Naturally, a team that worked well and missed few balls. A deserved victory, they are in the final!
Their Jégunois coach Florian Delpech is happy: “We were aggressive, we caused faults, a whole panel which earned us victory! We were able to grit our teeth, congratulations to the team!”.
At Easter, the final, the Jégunois will face Castéra-Verduzan.
