Day after day, Guingamp Badminton is heading a little more towards Departmental 1. (Gaëtan Pinel)
Maintained in extremis last season in D2, Guingamp Badminton continues, this season, the performances to the point of aiming for a rise in Departmental 1.
And if it was the year of Guingamp Badminton? Maintained in extremis in Departmental 2 last season, Benjamin Clidi and his troop have since been transformed into mixed interclubs. The three recruits of the team bring satisfaction and the Guingampais, winners of Ploubazlanec and Quintin last week, are at the top of their group. And this, one day before the end of the exercise, knowing that the first two places would ensure them to play in the play-offs for accession to D1.
A solid base
If the rise is now the objective of the club, “the positive state of mind, the almost professional coaching of Goulven Brigant, the maturity of the elders and the enthusiasm of the youngest” constitute the base of the team according to the president and Benjamin Clidi player. Just like “the pleasure of playing with friends”. But there is no question of resting on its laurels. “We try to be quite rigorous in training on the pairs in place in interclubs even if the singles matches are rather our strength and have allowed us to win the last meetings, analyzes Goulven Brigant. It’s going to be mental.” Confirmation expected on March 19, therefore, during the final meeting before the play-offs.
