Three weeks after their last match (7-1, against Chassieu Décines, in the Coupe de France), the Rafettes met for their first collective training of the year, Monday. During the two weeks of winter break, the Raf women had “a complete program, so that they are ready for the resumption”, specifies Mathieu Rufié, their trainer. Back on the lawn, the Ruthenian tactician feels them “in shape”.
A friendly match against the young people of OL
Especially since the blood and gold start the year strong: tomorrow, they move to Grenoble for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. The Aveyronnaises and Iséroises know each other well because they play in the same championship, in Division 2 women.
After this meeting, the Ruthenians will have to wait until January 23 to regain the championship. A matchday will take place on the weekend of January 15 and 16, but they are exempt from match. However, Mathieu Rufié’s proteges will not remain without playing. “We are organizing a friendly match with the U20 pro Olympique Lyonnais that weekend, in Rodez”, indicates the coach.
On the staff side, the group is almost complete. “Flavie (Grocq) is still bothered by her knee “ and “there is no concern at the level of the Covid-19”, he adds.
