Faced with a promoted entry, announcing the division’s smallest budget and losing all preparation matches (4), and sometimes by a very large margin like against Charnay (68-39), it seems everything but one trap. It’s still…
“The promoted will have nothing to lose”
After a very long preparation due to the world championship in Australia (22 September – 1 October), the women’s Ligue 2 finally kicks off on Saturday evening. There will still be a first round of the Coupe de France, last weekend, to whet your appetite. “Yes, of course, but it is not the championship, we are all impatient to start”, confided on Friday 14 October the coach Benoît Marty who still mistrusts these Feytiacoises led in particular from the inside Emily Prugnières, overcome Chartres between 2018 and 2020. “He is a promoter who will have nothing to lose, an aggressive team, which sometimes plays to the limit”, confides the CCBF coach.

Like Chartres (62-57 success in Reims), Feytiat managed to qualify for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France by dominating another Ligue 2 resident, Montbrison (53-50), against whom the Limougeaudes had tilted twice, and quite widely, in preparation (81-60 then 68-53).
In Feytiat, which looks like a small thumb, the biggest resume is the coach, Cyril Sicsic, who, before signing in Haute-Vienne in 2018, had refereed for fifteen years in the Women’s League (Nice, Calais, Tarbes). The FB87, which has a young workforce (25 years on average), will rely in particular on its American Alexa Middleton, who arrived from Reims (L2) in the low season, and on the Bosnian Irma Rahmanovic who had participated in the ascent to l ‘ elite with Charnay in 2019.
