For the 6th day of the National 2M championship, the JSA Bordeaux presented themselves in Niort with full confidence after four consecutive successes at home. But the start of the match was to the advantage of the locals with Tchoubaye and Cluysen in the racket (27-18). The JSA found their address. Alamudun and Desmonts, authors of 7 points each in the second quarter, showed their full range. Niort suffered a 3-12 in the space of six minutes and it was the Bordelais who took the lead (30-32).
Returning from the locker room Desmonts continued his recital (34-40). Lheriau masterfully directed the Niort offensives (49-48). McClanahan scored 7 consecutive points, giving the JSA a +6 advantage at the start of the last quarter (52-58). But Niort did not give up. Alouekey scored a lay-up with the foul, then another free throw at the end of the match gave Niort a first success at home.
“They had a revenge to take and remained on a good run with the victory at Rezé, I am disappointed but we must progress and be better away,” underlined Mathieu Hubert, the JSA coach. The next match is at home against Marmande. We intend to remain undefeated at home. »
