the essential
The weeks follow each other and look alike for the Tarn-et-Garonnais who still can’t take off this season.
And 11! Of the fourteen games they have played this season, the Montalbanais have lost… eleven. Either the course of a relegation. Once again the outcome of this meeting against Toulouges was unfavorable to the Montalbanais, at whom we really cannot throw stones as they were present at the meeting, at least in the envy, even returning to the lead in the last minutes, but a fault on a three-point shot which returns and all the hopes of victory which fly away. This season is therefore one of almost permanent regrets for the Montalbanais, who in addition do not play matches with all their vital forces (injuries, covid).
The MBC is in 10th place in the standings, and sees its situation singularly complicated when there are only eight championship days left. In this pool they are now only ahead of two teams, Malaussanne who is 2 games behind and therefore already potentially above the Montalbanais, and the red lanterns of Cahors / Sauzet, the only team to present a record lower than that of the Tarn-et -Garonne. Lotois who are precisely the next opponents of the MBC on Saturday, for a cutthroat Quercy derby in perspective.
