This Sunday at 4:00 p.m., Longueau (B) was opposed to Calais for the 7th day of the championship. Faced with the red lantern of the group, the locals largely won (89-66).
Relocated to the Gervais Leprêtre room in Boves due to work in the Émile Noël gymnasium, the Longueau players were faced with Calais, the team ranked last in this group A. ESCLAMS (b) was keen to win this meeting to take important points and approach the next matches calmly. Due to some absences, David Haleine was able to count on two players from the first team for this match to strengthen the squad.
However, from the start of the game, the Longueau (b) players found themselves facing a conquering and efficient Calais team, who had a very good start to the match, unlike the Longacoissiens who suffered during the first minutes of the match (2-15 after five minutes of play).
The Calais players maintained the same intensity for almost the entire first quarter, but Longueau (b) gradually got back up to speed and regained efficiency, which allowed them to come back to seven points at the end. of the first ten minutes. Little by little, ESCLAMS (b) caught up by showing more realism and they even managed to gain the upper hand over their evening opponents to lead 42-36 at the break.
Upon returning from the locker room, the team led by David Haleine showed itself to be dominant in the different sectors of the game without opening up a real gap with the Northerners during the third quarter. On the other hand, it is in the last fifteen minutes of the match that Longueau (b) played and established a difference of points on the scoreboard quite significant with Calais to reach a gap of 22 points in their favor four minutes from the end of the match.
It is therefore logical that the Longacoissiens won with a score of 89-66 against an opponent who had a very good start to the match but who was not able to impose the same rhythm as Longueau (b) on the whole part. The locals are now 7th in the standings with 11 points on the clock.
