To close the first leg, the Amiens UC Badminton flag team hosts Liancourt for a match that promises to be difficult.

Before the holidays, many players, coaches and staff like to go on vacation with peace of mind. But for Amiens UC Badminton, there still remains a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. Currently fourth, with 9 points, the Samarians are only a small point ahead of Quesnoy-sur-Deule which is in the red zone, and remain tied on points with Lille. The successive bad operations carried out against Lille, then Quesnoy, as well as the narrowly missed defensive bonuses, left the Amiens in a situation far from ideal.

This Sunday, they are preparing to welcome Liancourt, just dethroned from his leadership chair by Baisieux. A team in good shape, and which has a fairly broad composition, “with a good level”, as Ophélie Béron, the Amiens captain, points out. Difficult for her and her teammates to prepare for this meeting since the Isariens “changed their composition every day. We’ll see who will be there. » Once again, the Samarians will try “to fight, as we have done from the beginning, and try to do the best“, in a meeting with a derby feel and which will recall the great days of Amiens UC Badminton in Nationale 3, but watch out for indigestion just before the holidays.

Pre-National, 5th day:
Sunday December 14, 10 a.m. at the Auguste Janvier gymnasium: Amiens UC Badminton (4e, 9 pts) – CB Liancourt (2nd, 17 points)
