What if Grenoble had shown the way? By inflicting the ogre Rethel its first defeat of the season, on Saturday March 12, 2022, the Isérois showed that the leader of the Elite League was not infallible. That’s good, Caen could well cross his path, Sunday March 27, 2022, in the final of the Coupe de France. The Caennais have qualified for the final square of the competition, organized this weekend at the Halle Carpentier in Paris.
Semi-final favorites
The Conquerors will start as favorites in their semi-final on Saturday March 27 against Garges (6:00 p.m.). If they managed to qualify for the first time in their existence in the final of the Coupe de France, they will probably find themselves in Rethel. Perhaps Grenoble’s recent victory will alleviate their inferiority complex against this juggernaut. Especially since Caen remains on a success in Isère…
The RSHC did not miss its meeting, Saturday March 19, 2022. It is an understatement to say that it was expected after its surprise defeat in Vierzon. “Grenoble has come to achieve the feat of the season when we ourselves remained on a misstep, explains Théo Fontanille. We expected a very difficult match. »
A victory that feels good
Caen had it, despite a good start. While they had led 2-0 then 4-3, after a double from Enzo Renou and goals from Gérôme Guérin and Théo Faucherand, they were pushed on penalties. Théo Faucherand then released his people by converting his attempt.
It’s a victory that does us good, first in terms of accounts. Second place remains within our reach. It also gives us confidence.
Two points behind Anglet, Caen remains master of its destiny since the two teams have yet to compete. The Normans can still hope to fulfill their objective in the Elite League classification. As for the Coupe de France, it leaves open the field of all possibilities…
