The teams involved in Regional 1 to Departmental 2 started their 4th day of the championship on Sunday 28 January. And no less than 7 teams from Amiens have surveyed the grounds of Hauts-de-France.
Regional 1: Staying on track
Direction Boulogne-sur-Mer, for theteam 2 of the AUC Badminton who faced this Sunday Mons-en-Baroeul, at the start of the day. If the team carried by Maxim Maj was in relative difficulty in the singles, she made up for it in the men’s doubles with the victory of the captain associated with Fabien Vibert. A clear round for (the king) Maj who chained victories, adding a second success to his credit with Audrey Dercourt. The pair won against the Northerners in 2 sets. Despite everything, the Amiens bowed in the end 3-5 against the Monsois.
The Samarian badistes raise their heads high in the afternoon, facing the host club, the Boulogne Club Opal Steering Wheel. Another great performance for Pierre Bohin (R4) who wins again in singles, this time against Florent Wasselin (N3). On the ladies’ singles side, the girls won their matches with dignity with a good comeback for Marie Hernout who pocketed the victory after 3 disputed sets (14-21, 22-20, 22-20). There followed a great collective performance by the Amiens in the men’s, women’s and mixed doubles which led them to a very large victory. 7-1 against Boulogne.
One day from the end, the people of Amiens are in a good position to maintain with the 7ème place. The Creil team having withdrawn, there are only the Liancourtois and the Hemois left to meet, two teams that are behind in the standings, which mathematically leaves a little margin to the Samarians.

The first opposition of the day against the Artesians of Hersin-Coupigny ended in a defeat by the narrowest of margins 2-4despite the good performance of Simon Sane (D9), present as a substitute, who won in men’s singles 2 against Hugo Detourne (R6).

Pre-Regional 1: Reduced but not reduced
L’team 5 of the samarian club was traveling to Péronne to meet Ailly-sur-Noye and Chaulnes. In the first meeting of the day, the Amiens failed to take their revenge against the Aillysiens et bow on the lesser of 3-4 margins. At the end of the day, the Samarians showed up on the pitch with one player less, Camille Saffers having had to withdraw for the second meeting. The Amiens collective therefore began two points behind Chaulnesfinally bowing 2-5.

Departmental 1: A mixed performance
Team 7 Amiens traveled to Friville-Escarbotin to face Nesle and Peronne. The Samarian badistes first stumble on the Neslois, current second in the championship, losing 1-6.
