Auscitaines host Hagetmau-Momuy-Castaignos Basket at Salle Mathalin in Auch this Saturday, October 24, with tip-off scheduled for 5:00 PM local time, as part of a club-wide event dedicated to Octobre Rose, ladepeche.fr reported. The Gersoises enter the Nationale 3 fixture aiming for a rebound following their elimination from the Coupe d’Occitanie last weekend against Colomiers.
Auch Faces Third Place Hagetmau in Nationale 3
David Urizzi’s squad returns to league action holding a 3–2 record through the opening five matches of the campaign. A victory on Saturday would lift the Gers side into third place in the Nationale 3 standings. Hagetmau arrives in Auch occupying that third position with a 4–1 record, having dropped only a single match so far this season.
Despite the visitors’ strong start, their early schedule has primarily featured sides from the lower half of the table. The technical staff at Auch anticipates a much stiffer test on the Salle Mathalin parquet against a well-structured Landaise lineup.
Roster Challenges in the Paint
Auch must manage this top-of-the-table clash without Lisa Taitard and Lucile Castex. Both athletes are sidelined with knee injuries, leaving David Urizzi with reduced depth in the paint against Hagetmau’s interior presence.
The absence of Taitard and Castex places an added burden on Mélissa Cassin and her teammates.
Breast Cancer Awareness Campaigns Mark First Home Fixture
Club organizers anticipate a strong turnout at Salle Mathalin, where proceedings will center around Breast Cancer Awareness Month campaigns.
Saturday’s match marks the first of two home fixtures for Auch. The team will return to Salle Mathalin on Sunday, October 25, to host Lons.
