On the occasion of these 16es final of the “Sud Ouest” Super Cup, the great performance is to the credit of ES Bruilhois (Pré-Nationale) who defeated the formation of Coteaux de Luy (N2) with a score of 93 to 90.
A victory which for the coach of ES Bruilhois, Maxime Cassant, constitutes much more than a qualification for the next round. “This qualification is very satisfactory, even if our opponent was diminished and presented himself with half of his N2 team supplemented by R2 players,” admitted coach Aubiacais. But what should be noted above all is that we are in the process of regaining a conquering mentality, which we have lacked too much since the start of the season. It’s nice to be in a full room with supporters who helped us a lot. We must now confirm next Saturday in the derby against Colayrac. »
It works for the BBM and the BCLA
In the other matches, the logic was respected with the victory of the BBM (N2) on the floor of St-Bruno (77-86), despite its handicap of 28 points. The BBM reserve was defeated in its room against the Horsarrieu nationals (86-110).
Val d’Albret held out for three quarters before admitting defeat against St-Médard (77-97). The Girondins thus offer themselves a second Lot-et-Garonnais scalp after that of GAB, Friday evening, in the Coupe de France Trophy. “It’s a logical defeat,” admitted Stéphane Robert, the Vabiste coach. They knew how to impose their physical superiority and we ended up breaking down. It’s still a positive performance on our part. »
Finally, the Layracais who were thought to be in danger from the leader of Pré-Nationale succeeded in their bet, despite numerous absences, and returned from Cassen with the qualification (66-71). “We only presented eight players, including two reserves, but we were serious and we deserved our qualification,” admitted Fred Albisua, the BCLA technician. This allowed a few players to stay in the rhythm and we now have to think about the trip to Montauban on Saturday. »
