Women’s French Cup (1st federal round). Plérin FC (R1) – Stade Briochin (R2), Sunday (3 p.m.)
She is in life as on a field: without detour or pretense. “Sunday, I will find good friends, Marion Boishardy and Leslie Sychareunh. But on the ground, it will be a nice little fight, ”enthuses Aude André, the defender of Plérin FC.
“There is room for everyone”
Since she was eight years old, football and her have been one. “I started after an association forum. When I passed by the football stand, I said to my mother: “I want to do this! “. The girl then practiced the dance. “Today, I’ve been playing for 33 years! “, she laughs, from the top of her 41 springs. Of course, that makes her the dean of the Plérin locker room. “Some teammates could be my daughters, but I think it’s nice that all ages are represented.” The upcoming derby sends her back to the past. “I started at Chaffoteaux, then the club became Saint-Brieuc Foot Féminin before being attached to Stade Briochin”. When it started in 1989, the girls had just been crowned champions of France. Suffice to say that it saddened him when the section was sold in 2011 to En Avant Guingamp. “I also played at Guingamp but it was a shame, we had to recreate everything. Fortunately, today, there is a great project”. A project that does not prevent Plérin FC and the surrounding clubs from fully existing. “For me, there is room for everyone. More the merrier, the merrier ! “.

The new coach, Maxime Le Bihan, has breathed new life into it. “He’s an interesting person, we’re all delighted.” To the point of approaching this derby with the necessary serenity? “It’s a good draw, in the sense that they evolve in R2 and we in R1. But, last year, we lost at home in the Coupe de Bretagne. So we are wary.” In the previous round, the Briochines took out FC Lorient (R1), after two incredible penalty shootouts. “There will be a lot of supporters, I hope the weather will be good,” smiles Aude André. The little post-match “bolée” would only be more pleasant for the former caregiver who became an assistant with Cerfrance, in Plérin. “Having your weekends is easier for football! “. Passion, when you hold us…
