Crossing the course of Bon-Encontre… This is the objective of OC Montluçon (Allier), opposed to RC Bon-Encontre / Boé in the 32nd round of the play-offs of Federal 3. First leg this Sunday, May 1 (15 hours) in Lot-et-Garonne. Back next Sunday, May 8, at the stadium of La Loue.
The context
Remember that, to access the Federal 2, you will have to at least climb to the round of 16. Or else lose in sixteenths but win a dry barrage against another eliminated… That being said, is the climb really the ambition of the OCM??
“Of course the climb is our goal, we want to go as far as possible in this final phase, so in Fédérale 2. But that shouldn’t be a priority that puts pressure on us either. We must already savor, take pleasure and focus on Bon-Encontre. »
Dominique Hetier (coach of OC Montluçon)

For their last game of the regular season, OC Montluçon beat Sancerre (40-0) to secure first place in their group. [10/04/2022]
The adversary
Well let’s focus. On paper, Montluçon advantage. First in Pool 16 (70 pts, fourteen wins and three losses), the Bourbonnais are logically the favorites against this South West club. Third in pool 13 (45 pts, nine wins and seven losses), with admittedly one less team in their group compared to that of the OCM, the Lot-et-Garonnais finished very far from US Casteljaloux ( 1st, 70 pts) and 4 Cantons (2nd, 68 pts).
“But out of their seven defeats they had four with a defensive bonus, so it shows that this team is not giving up,” Dominique Héritier develops. Which was able to watch some videos of his future opponent. “I do not know the level of their hen, but from what I have seen, it is solid in front and well organized, it does not play at two miles an hour but it is clean”, list he. “They have a bit of the profile of Issoudun, who finished third in our group”.
The game plan
Except that unlike the championship, this time it’s a two-way duel with elimination at stake… “So, for this away match, the pressure will not be on us and we will have to try to be a little more in management than usual, thinking about the return, ”warns the coach. “But without denying ourselves and keeping the DNA of our game, made of circulations, movements”. For what result on arrival at the scoreboard??
“We aim at best for victory and at worst for defeat with a very small gap. »
Dominique Hetier (coach of OC Montluçon)
