The Chartraines challenge Angers, the spirit freed

Three days after the feat against the Nordistes d’Aulnoye, the CCBF found a new big caliber of the championship, Angers, for this late match of the 19th day.

The battle of November

In the first leg at the end of November, after a cut of one month, the Chartraines had their first setback (69-75) against the Angevines, also undefeated. But the Maine-et-Loire team, which today appears as the big favorite to access the Women’s League, had to fight hard to get rid of Kekelly Elenga’s teammates who had ended up bending in the money-time.

The first leg against Angers

Since then, UFAB 49 has had a series of successes and is on the way to regaining the elite, four years after having left it. Without an incomprehensible hitch, at home, against Saint-Paul / Rezé (59-77), on February 24 – the only defeat of the UFAB during the return phase – and a little earlier in the season at Montbrison (62 -57), that is to say two clubs which fight for the maintenance, the Angevines would occupy the throne. This throne, the players of David Gautier can sit there again this evening, in case of success against the Chartraines, now released from any pressure (1), after their brilliant performance against Aulnoye.

“We’re going there to have a go”

“We are satisfied with our performance on Saturday, I hope it will ease the girls against Angers, just to move up the standings. We are back virtually 6th since we have a better point average over Strasbourg. We are going there to make a move, we know that we can compete with Angers as was the case in the first leg ”, underlined the Chartres coach Benoît Marty.

Chartres, a performing quartet

By beating the Northerners on Saturday, the CCBF gave the Andégaves a big boost. But not sure that these last return the favor to them tonight. But it is true that in addition to the defeat in Toulouse at Mondeville this weekend, the highway has cleared for the players of Maine-et-Loire.

To try to counter the Angevin armada, led by the former Chartraine Touty Gandega, very precious with its 18 units against Reims (67-63) on Saturday, Chartres will rely on its performing quartet, Belleka-Elenga-Bienvenu-Tayeau , author of 59 points against Aulnoye.

(1) Relegation, if any, concerns the last two clubs (excluding Federal Center). Calais and Montbrison, who have lost twice to CCBF, can no longer overtake the Chartraines.
