It was at the Richard Tételin sports complex in Arras that Amiens SC defended its place in the Pre-National this Saturday June 1 by facing Wasquehal. After their defeat (78-66), the Amiens will play at the lower level next year.
However, the fate was in the hands of the Amiens SC players who led the score at half-time. “ It was a close and choppy match », Explains Stéphane Noé, the Samarian trainer. But it was during the last quarter that the match was decided. With two successive three-pointers, Wasquehal managed to get ahead of Amiens three minutes from the end and maintained the advantage until the end. “ We lacked long distance skills and they knew how to exploit our weaknesses. »
A disappointing season for Amiens
Stéphane Noé, disappointed but lucid, understands this defeat: “ It’s a reflection of our season, a match that we are unable to complete even though it is within our reach. They had reinforced their team with players from the first team but we could have won this match. »
One week before the last match of their season (the Coupe de la Somme final), the Amiens coach considers that the team deserved this tenth place: “ We are in our place, we put ourselves in this situation through a lack of commitment. We relaxed for no reason in the middle of the season when we didn’t have to. » The ASC is experiencing its second descent in a row and will progress to Regional 2 next year.
Even if relegation is 99% confirmed according to Stéphane Noé, there is a tiny probability that the team will be drafted. The League has a scale which will make it possible to calculate, depending on the number of descents from Nationale 3 and the disappearance of teams, which clubs will be drafted in Prenationale, if any. A communication will be made on this subject in the coming weeks by the League to seal the fate of the Amiens team. But for now, the ASC is relegated.
