Everything seems to show that the D3 championship will be led by this leading duo, FC Rocquancourt et Baie de l’Orne.

A duel to liven up the season

At least that’s what Yohan Thiebaut, the coach of the Basly reserve team, also competing in this group, points out. “Baie de l’Orne and Rocquancourt, these are really the two teams to watch,” he says.

The meeting on Sunday November 10, 2024 therefore clearly constituted an appointment not to be missed. Rayan Cadel, the Rocquancourt coach, and Julien Fleury, his counterpart from Baie de L’Orne, shared the same desire heading into this match: to win to widen the gap and take first place.

We approached this match with a fairly clear desire. Winning this direct confrontation to give ourselves a little breathing room and above all, to prove to everyone that our place is indeed at the top of the rankings.

The key to the match was wearing gloves

The objectives were therefore clear: deprive the opponent of points. Between nice reactions at the start of the match, intensity, goals and mutual respect, all the ingredients were there for the 22 players to shine at their best. Julien Fleury’s men, according to him, “started the two periods very well by creating a lot of chances” but were “unable to convert them”.

For his part, Rayan Cadel believes that his players “responded to the physical challenge imposed by the opponent. I think our realism and our desire will have made the difference. »

This realism and this physical demand allowed FC Rocquancourt to win 3-0 on the Baie de l’Orne pitch. Everyone agrees that one of the keys to the match was wearing gloves. Jonathan DesertFCR goalkeeper, was unanimous in this match, repelling three face-to-face encounters. “The man of the match is their goalkeeper, well done to him,” declared Julien Fleury sportingly.

Another long season

In the Rocquancourt locker room, at the end of the match, “The Wild Geese” by Michel Delpech resonated, synonymous with victory and accession to first place. But the coach of the club with the beautiful jerseys wants to be humble. He wants to collect as many points as possible in the first part of the season to approach the second part of the season calmly.

On the Baie de l’Orne side, we are getting impatient: between the injuries and the suspensions, the group is not complete. The coach still wants to be confident and is counting on the collective strength of his club to overcome this defeat.

I’m counting on the guys, the club, the volunteers and the supporters to keep the desire, the smiles, and the desire to get back to the level that the club deserves. Fortunately, a defeat happens and it can only help us going forward.

See you for the return match, scheduled for March 22, 2025, on the Rocquancourt lawn.
