rue dilemma, difficult choice, the finale of an extraordinary Garonnaise season took on the air of an ancient tragedy when the assurance of qualifications clearly appeared. The GAB finished in first place in the National 2 championship for the first time in its existence and will play its quarter-final against Levallois (2nd in Pool C) this Saturday, May 18. The return match was scheduled for the following Friday at the same time as another important meeting for the club of president Serge Casagrande…
Indeed, the GAB qualified for the last four of the “Sud Ouest” Super Cup, the semi-final of which will be played on Friday May 24 at 8:15 p.m. in the Pomarez arenas. Sordid epilogue for a team which played on both counts with the success that we know. But for several weeks, the Garonne leaders had been saying they wanted to play the game until the end – it would have been easy to lose voluntarily – and they succeeded.
Three matches in three days
The FFBB regulations say that “the sports weekend extends from midnight on Friday…”. Regional and national authorities have every interest in ensuring that a fair solution is found. And here is the GAB on the move in the Paris region to explain to anyone who will listen that the return match cannot take place on Friday. Initially reserved, Levallois coach Franck Le Goff (ex-Nanterre, assistant coach of Donnadieu in Betclic Élite) understood the Garonnais dilemma. The return match will therefore be played on Thursday May 23 at 8 p.m. in the Meilhan-sur-Garonne venue. This will leave the possibility for GAB to defend its title in Pomarez the next day, and possibly the day after that if it manages to qualify for the final.
“The idea of participating in the “Final Four” of Nationale 2 which will take place in Auch makes more than one person salivate”
So what about the play-offs? A climb to Nationale 1 does not seem to be on the cards at GAB. And again, shouldn’t she offer herself, who knows what could happen? But the idea of participating in the “final Four” of Nationale 2 which will take place in Auch, in the Gers, a few dozen kilometers from the department, makes more than one salivate. In short, here is the GAB very happy to be able to play on both counts. All that remains now is to get something out of it on the ground. On to the players!
