The cadets of Canaires Sami Rahali-Gomez, Jérémy Party and Jean-Joseph Santiago, the only players in the department to get out of the hens, failed the doors of the quarter-finals, paying dear a failed match start.
For those who have experienced young French championships at 128 teams in each category and played in pools, it is obvious that the 64 triplet formula and the Swiss System (Swiss system) classification as a selection for the sixteenth finals are much more selective and demanding.
In Saint-Yrieix-sur-Charente (Charente), on July 12 and 13, the Gard, like last year, had no representatives in juniors. The two cadet teams and the minimal team in the running, we hope, have learned but we will regret that one had passed the cut of the classification parts and accessed the sixteenth finals in its category.
An eighth finals with a bitter taste
As expected, the Champions of Occitania Cadets, Sami Rahali-Gomez, Jérémy Party and Jean-Joseph Santiago, did not fail, aligning three victories (13-11,13-9, 13-5), finishing second in the ranking and obtaining their ticket for the sixteenth finals.
Opposed to Damail, Victoor-Demetter and Parisotto (Nouvelle-Aquitaine), the Gardois did not make details, quickly spraying their opponents (13-1).
All the green lights, the players of the Canaul cochonnet attacked their eighth finals against Martins, Hinderchied and Duclos (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes). Alas, they put themselves in the red, finding themselves led 0-12! A goal drowned by Rahali-Gomez saved the bet and gave Punch to the Gardois who, in two leads, returned to 8-12.
There, by shortening the distance for an attack pass, they lost the advantage, failing on a long opposing puck and, this time, Rahali-Gomez did not drow the cochonnet (8-13; 0-4, 0-7.0-8, 0-9, 0-11, 0-12, 3-12, 8-12). Ragging but deserved in view of the meeting.
“We have regrets, when we know the potential of these playersdid not hide the coach Thierry Gomez, But it must be recognized that we have turned to extra time during this French championship. It has passed the first four games, not at the fifth, it must be recognized. We are going to bet everything now on the French club championship. “
A selective and merciless Swiss system
For the other Gard training courses, the Swiss system was merciless. The cadets Léo Paul Lévèque, Nolan Bar and Giovanni Giacco, in lack of cohesion, recorded three defeats, finding themselves … 64th in the standings.
Donated to the Cup of the future, they did not grasp their luck, being beaten 13-9 by the GAC team (northern islands).
The Minimes Robin Buisson, Louise Duvauchelle and Claris Billerey won only one match and they also joined the Cup of the future, losing from the start of 13-9 against El Yaoubi (Center-Val-de-Loire).
“It was their first French championship, they can be proud their journey because they made the game. With the disappointment of finding themselves in the Cup of the future, the fifth part was that of too much but they will live other” France “, that is to be”analyzed their young coach Carla Reynaud.
