Behind the locomotive embodied by the FIB which rubs shoulders with the elite of the interclubs, the Top 12, since the start of the season, the bad Bretillian is doing wonderfully. Seven teams, two in N2, five in N3, are playing at the national level with, for the vast majority of them, good results in this first part of the season which ends, Saturday December 13, 2025, with the end of the first legs.
In Nationale 2, Saint-Jacques is at the top of its group with eight points ahead of second place, Blois, after only four days. We are confident enough to maintain our first place until the end,
argues the vice-president, François Menuge. We have a beautiful mattress which, barring disaster, should lead us to the accession roadblocks on May 9 and 10, 2026. The announced objective is to move up to N1.
It’s a little more difficult for Guichen – Bourg-des-Comptes which is in penultimate position, but with five units more than the last, Tours. Overall it’s satisfactory, we have never been dominated by our opponents. We will fight on the return phase in order to maintain ourselves through this year of transition,
confides Nathan Cazalets.
On the floor below, two reserve formations, those of the FIB and Saint-Jacques, also control the leadership of their group. Until now, we have shown seriousness and diligence, even if we had a little reminder last time against La Chapelle-sur-Erdre, a short victory (5-3). Our main idea still remains to move up to N2 so as not to block the teams behind,”
note Nicholas Latyri to FIB B. We have less margin than our pennant team, five points ahead of the second, but we also want to play for accession,
recognizes François Menuge for Saint-Jacques B.

The other three, Fougères, REC and Guichen B, wish above all to remain national. For the Fougerais, the hardest part is done, unlike the Rennes and Guichenais. We have one last important meeting this year in Trégunc, and we are going to send our strong forces to win,”
breathes Nathan Cazalets for Guichen B.
