Will we see a shield in Montpellier this season? The answer lies in the hands of the Women’s Reserve Elite, the club’s last team still in the running, who will play this Saturday, June 10 (4:00 p.m.) the final of their championship at the Sainte-Germaine du Bouscat stadium in Bordeaux. The culmination of an accomplished season for Serge Blancher’s daughters.
“They are friends who play rugby together” ! It is with a simplicity tinged with benevolence that the coach sums up the irreproachable state of mind of his group which has just masterfully won its semi-final against Stade Toulousain (24-11). “The season has been generally successful on the sporting level with constant commitment “says Serge Blancher, aware however of the height of the last step to climb. “We are now going to face a big team from Blagnac, complete in all areas of play and who are undefeated over the season”.
It is now a question of concluding in the best possible way a season with an almost perfect course. First in their mixing pool, our women then traveled the 4 corners of the country (from Bobigny to Pau via Lyon) to monopolize first place in the qualifying phase and make their way to the final phase. ” We feel an incredible state of mind! », continues Serge Blancher. They are, for the most part, girls who have known each other for years, but the young people who have arrived recently have completely bought into the spirit”.
A close-knit and homogeneous team that will be able to rely on the experience of its executives to regain the shield it won 4 years ago. “The girls who are a little younger are well supervised. 5 or 6 of our “old” have already experienced two finals. These girls have a positive leadership: they are aware of it and pull up the youngest who put themselves in tune. »
Now it’s time for a final week of preparation for the entire Reserve Elite group, 80 minutes from bringing a new piece of wood back to the Hérault. “Let’s play our luck 100%, let’s have no regrets. For the club and for our supporters, let’s get a title! »
