the essential Apart from the Stade Toulousain (NM1), the TMB (Ligue 2 Féminine) and the TOAC (NM2), whose meeting has been postponed, all the teams from the department involved in the National are in the breach.
Just like last year, the Columérines start their season against Limoges. But this time, it is the Limougeaudes who are making the trip and will put Julien Roué’s players through a serious test.
The Breton, responsible for the Landerneau training center (LFB) until the spring and who brought Victorine Thiaw and Tahys Da Silva with him, knows the NF1. He brought the Charentaises de La Couronne into it in 2011 with a hyper-offensive game project that stood out among the coaching community. “Often, I cry when I see the women’s basketball scores, teams that win with 40 or 50 points. I don’t care about taking 80 points as long as we score two more. Putting madness is what what the public wants”, he declared to Charente Libre at that time. A philosophy, partly implemented from the start of preparation against the promoted Gimont, beaten 73-70 in a friendly, which will delight the public if the victories follow one another.
Lise Dufon absent
After two years of fighting to maintain their position, the leaders turned the page on Serbian coach Miroslav Dobrican in the hope of seeing their pennant team fight again at the top of the table. The confrontation against Limoges, a historic club in French women’s basketball, where former Toulousaine and Columérine Diankeba Guyrassy is playing this year, must provide certainty.
But just like last year, Colomiers will start its season without Lise Dufon. The full-back/winger, who is starting his second season with the team, played this week in Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia), alongside among others Eve Wembanyama (Victor’s sister), the final competition of the 2023 Nations League with the French 3×3 U23 team. Beaten yesterday in the quarter-final by China (15-19), it will not have the material time to be this evening in Colomiers where we hope not to have to regret its absence and to start the season with a precious victory.
