Amazons Elite 1
For this first game of the year, the Amazons Elite 1 were playing Lille. The kick-off of this 3rd day of the championship was given at 13h00 at the Lesdiguières stadium. Léo Brissaud, head coach of the "Red & Blue" team, tells us about this short 18-16 victory:
"It was a difficult game against a Lille team who played a very good game away from home. They gave us a hard time on the conquest, the ground game with a very good strategic management.
On our side, we have the feeling that we could do better. We didn't control our offensive game, we didn't manage to concretize our strong moments.
But we are satisfied that they didn't give up and that they went for the win in the last minutes.
