A goodbye rather than a farewell. The MBC played last night its last home game in National, intending to return there quickly. An important match for the visitors who were playing their maintenance. Finally, there won’t be many matches, as there was only one team on the floor, that of Tursan. Thibaut Cavé’s men probably produced their worst performance of the season at home. This time no regrets to have as the Montalbanais completely missed their last meeting at home. After the success in Valencia / Condom sure that we expected something else. But last night, everything went wrong and Anthony Vachin’s teammates never seemed able to raise their heads and offer their supporters a final success. The conclusion of a season that will soon be forgotten. Loudly supported by around fifty supporters, the Landais face Tarn-et-Garonnais again deprived of major players (Kevin and Geoffrey Caubel, Ousmane Niang, Abdelaziz Oyssi). Despite everything, the MBC decided not to give in. We feel from the start that the Landais will have to seek maintenance. The first quarter is tense as desired, with a score that does not rise quickly (6-9, 5th). This first act, the MBC masters it badly, does everything upside down, with catastrophic inefficiency in shooting. We don’t know it yet but this failed start to the match, the MBC will drag it like a cannonball until the end. The visitors take the opportunity to widen a first gap (6-13, 7th). At the end of the first quarter, Tursan has a ten-point lead (10-20). The second is not much better for the Tarn-et-Garonnais since the Landais take a little more margin (12-27, 13th). The tension goes up a notch, the MBC finds the target better but it is not yet enough (25-35, 18th). At the break, the MBC is hardly more reassured (31-42).
Tursan feasts
We hope that the Montalbanais will react to the return from the locker room, unfortunately the opposite is happening. Boosted, the visitors keep their pressure and fly to the mark (31-52, 22nd). The match falls into the approximation on both sides, with an MBC who rushes too much. In this little game, nothing really interesting to get your teeth into (40-56, 26th). Nothing works at MBC and at the end of the third quarter Tursan is on his way to his maintenance (49-68). Difficult to think that the Landais will miss the opportunity. Worse, they feast on driving the point home a little more (52-73, 34th). In the last minutes, the MBC throws its last strength but the damage is done. This last outing home was a long, very long ordeal.
And now. For the last match of the season, the Montalbanais will go next Saturday to Réal Chalossais (8 p.m.).
