ambitious, the Volant airois is aiming for the podium

In March, Aire-sur-la-Lys, third, hoped for the play-off, but the Covid-19 stopped what was the club’s best season in Top 12. The ambition remained the same. But it’s not quite the same team or the same opponents anymore.

« The departure of Yaëlle Hoyaux embarrassed us. A Frenchwoman was needed, because of the quotas, of a good level. The arrival of Romane Clotteaux-Foucault fits well with the group
“, Explain Guillaume Jops, the Airois captain. La Bretonne is only 19 years old but has talent. She arrives with humility and seems determined to move forward. Lydia-Jane Powell, Sara Lamoulie and Flore Vandenhoucke hardly cut. The Airoise women’s division will be interesting. The LVA can count on the 88th world, Martina Repiska, and on Iris Van Lijsen, a Dutchwoman who won on the Airoise stage of the BEC U 17.

An Englishman to replace Maxime Briot

As for the boys, the departure of Maxime Briot will be largely compensated. The replacement is English, Ben Lane, he joins Sean Vendy. An exceptional pair, 30th in the world, who know each other by heart, ” probably the best in the championship
»Says Fred Ducrot, the president of Aria. With them, Louis Ducrot and Thomas Baurès but also Maxime Moreels, the Belgian nº1. Rajiv Ouseph will bring his experience to a few meetings, to be planned according to his schedule as an international coach.

It’s the captain’s job to put together the best team based on potential opponents. Chambly and its constellation of stars, Fos-sur-Mer with the Popov brothers and Yaëlle Hoyaux, will be the heads of the gondola. ” Strasbourg is also well armed
», Guillaume Jops analyzes. Oullins and Boulogne-Billancourt, drafted after the withdrawal of Aulnay-sous-Bois, seem a tone below. There remains the context: by September 19, date of the first day against Boulogne, will we be able to move? To play ? It’s still a blur.
