Nothing to lose, such could have been Mérignac’s credo when this meeting began in a well-stocked and noisy Jean-Dauguet room. Faced with the slew of internationals from Brest Bretagne Handball, who were also very applauded by the public during the presentation of the players, the Mérignacaises nevertheless entered this meeting without complexes. But the pace, the offensive outlook and the surgical precision of the Bretons (2-5, 5th) immediately leave little doubt as to the outcome of this game. A suspense that quickly fades away.
“Our most important match will take place on Saturday. We managed the physical aspect, avoided injuries.”

And yet, the MHB begins these first minutes with energy, helped by the successive saves of Mérignac goalkeeper Lena Le Borgne, who shines against the players from her home department. But faced with the precision of the Breton shots, any resistance seemed in vain (3-9, 13th). However, the Girondines manage to find solutions in attack, tighten the screw in defense and stop the bleeding (6-11, 18th then 7-12, 20th). A self-sacrifice that pushes the MHB. Not enough, however, to thwart a rise in power from the Finisterians just before the break, finally achieved with a disbursement of nine goals (11-20).
A second period which resumes like the first with the Mérignacaises trying to respond to the domination of their opponents (18-28, 41st). Above all, this will give you confidence and gain certainty during matches that are more within the reach of the MHB. “Brest is a very good team,” analyzes Nele Antonissen, the center half of Mérignac. I still think we could have done better. But this kind of match is decided on details. Now our most important match will take place on Saturday. We managed the physical aspect, avoided injuries, that’s important.”
A match that the Mérignacaises ultimately lost by 14 goals. Have any lessons been learned? Response from Saturday against the Northerners of Saint Amand.
