Patrick Delacroix, president of USC (Union sportive Colomiers) football is relieved and delighted: the negotiations led by club presidents of N2 (the fourth French level) with the French federation have been successful. The championship will resume on March 13. “For the staff and the players, this announced resumption is a deliverance. In their entire career, they had never known such a long stoppage. To finally have a calendar and a competition format is something very positive” blows the president. This resumption of the championship will take place in a new format between March 13 and June 15. It was first decided to finish with the first leg. A second competition in the form of two mini-championships will follow.The classification at the end of this first leg will be decisive in forming two groups: a group for the first eight who will play the climb, a group of the poorly classified eight who will have to fight for maintenance. .
Colomiers can have ambitions
For Colomiers, currently third, with 16 points, this decision is rather good news. On the remaining half-leg, the ” remountada ” seems a difficult bet for the already poorly classified teams. To end with this first leg, the Columérins will have six games to play. They will receive Bourges 18 (15th, 3pts), Bergerac (11th, 10 pts) and Angers (7th, 13 pts). They will travel to Chamalières (13th, 10pts), Angoulème (14th, 6 pts) and Romorantin (4th, 14pts).
“Our goal is to grab a place for the playoffs (top-ranked group). For Colomiers, considering a move up to N1 is a complex task as everything separates us from the means available to certain clubs. But with a valiant heart, nothing is impossible … .. The very context of this recovery is improbable and today we cannot objectively claim that we will play the climb. … We will remain as usual proud of our values linked to the training of young people and we will carry the most high possible the colors of Colomiers “indicates Patrick Delacroix. There is no doubt that the men of coach Patrice Maurel will approach this new season with motivation.
