With C’Chartres Football (N2) and CS Mainvilliers (R2), Eure-et-Loir will have two representatives in the 7th round of the Coupe de France, the weekend of November 13 and 14. This had not happened since 2013-2014. That season, FC Drouais (R1) had been fortunate enough to receive Caen (Ligue 2) in the 7th round for a narrow 1-0 defeat. ES Maintenon-Pierres (R2) had taken a further step and was stopped 2-0 in the 8th round by La Suze (R1).
Chartres did not win everything
A qualification for the 7th round of the Coupe de France while leaving some players like Erwan Colas and Adama Sidibé at rest. The day could have been perfect for C’Chartres Football (N2), winner 2-1 at Châteauneuf-sur-Loire (N3), this Sunday, October 31. But Jean-Pierre Papin’s team returned to Eure-et-Loir with wounded. Nicolas Palbrois, hit in the calf during the warm-up, did not even participate in the match. Hamjatou Soukuna came out around the hour mark for a little thigh spike. Finally, goalkeeper Pape Barry ended the game on one leg. “Fortunately Châteauneuf did not equalize because he would have had trouble on penalties,” loose JPP. After a day of rest yesterday, the CCF coach is waiting for the start of the week to learn more about the seriousness of the injuries. Not sure that everyone is restored for the reception of Guingamp (b), Saturday, in N2, a match from which Kévin Malaga and Aurélien Gazeau will already be deprived, both suspended.
Mainvilliers is not the smallest
Qualified in the 7th round of the Coupe de France for the second time in its history after reaching 8th in 2015-2016, CS Mainvilliers (R2) is one of the smallest still in contention. But he’s not the smallest. Among the 146 winners of the 6th round in France, this weekend of October 30 and 31, are 4 teams from Departmental and 9 from Regional 3. The best represented division is National 3 with 42 qualified.

Without ceremony
The draws for the 7th round (matches on 13 and 14 November) and the 8th round (matches on 27 and 28 November) of the Coupe de France will be carried out tomorrow, from 11:30 am, at the headquarters of the French Football Federation, in Paris. But they will take place behind closed doors. It is therefore in front of their computer that CS Mainvilliers (R2) and C’Chartres Football (N2) will know their opponent with a live broadcast on FFF. TV. A small frustration for the clan from Mainville, including trainer Benoît Devin, who would have liked to live the moment on the spot.
Bouhoutt scores again
Hero of Saumur (N3) last season with several goals in a course completed in the round of 16 against Toulouse L1 (1-2), the former Chartrain Wail Bouhout can dream of a new epic in the Coupe de France. His team, joined this summer by another former FCC, Chrtistian Kipré, qualified this weekend for the 7th round with a 4-0 success at Pellouailles (D1) in a match where he scored. It also happened for the former OC Châteaudun Walid Nassi, winner on penalties at Concarneau (Nat) with his team from Saint-Brieuc (Nat). Ditto for the former trainer of Mainvilliers Stéphane Malloyer, qualified with his new club of Chauvigny (N3) thanks to a 2-1 success at Lanton (R3). A reunion with the CSM is possible …
Granville to the mat
Among the seven opponents of C’Chartres Football of group A of N2 still in contention, only Granville fell, this weekend, on the occasion of the 6th round of the Coupe de France. The Normans fell 3-1 at home against AG Caen (N3). Poissy, winner 2-0 at Fleury (N2), Rouen, Châteaubriant, Versailles, Saint-Malo and Vannes all passed, not without some fears for some.
Goalkeeper scorer
Jonathan Martin’s dream come true for all goaltenders this weekend. Taking advantage of the big gusts, the goalkeeper of ES Beauceronne (D2) scored a goal on clearance, with two favorable rebounds, in a 4-2 victory at Tréon (D3) in the District Cup. Sacred performance.
Nivet back
Seeing Yévrois Benjamin Nivet playing with Brou’s jersey is no longer a fantasy. Two after his last matches with the Star, the former pro, 44, took over a license in Christophe Hacault’s club. It remains to be seen when his schedule, with a few boxes already filled by his consultant activity at Prime Video, will allow him to be aligned in Departmental 1.n
