Hard blow for USLG Cherbourg-en-Cotentin (Manche). L’first teamwhich evolves into Women’s National 1should have participated this weekend January 20 and 21, 2024 to Round of 32 of the Coupe de France Trophy. But an “administrative imbroglio”, as president Sylvain Jean explains, got the better of his registration, so much so that the Tangos must pass their turn for this year…

We realized at the time of the draw, at the end of December, that we were not on the list. This is the first time this year that you had to take the step of registering. Before, this was done automatically for N1 clubs…

Sylvain JeanPresident of the USLG Cherbourg-en-Cotentin

No bonus points or great adventure

The leader admits “a lack of vigilance » to get to this point. But he also believes he was poorly directed at the start of the season: “We contacted the Normandy League to find out why we were not in the regional rounds, and they told us that it was normal because we had to replace Ifs (Calvados). And when we saw that we were not affected by the draw for the round of 16, the Federation told us that we would have had to register with the League…”

The daughters of Johann Beauné will therefore not be able to claim a potential great adventure. “It might have been another nice goal for the end of the season,” regrets Sylvain Jean. Last year, they qualified for the quarter-finals, participating in a four-team round in Trith (North), but failed to secure a place in the final.

Also, the USLG will not be able to garner any possible bonus points : the quarter-finalists thus recover one point to count in their championship, and the finalists yet another additional one. Conversely, their direct opponents will have the opportunity to increase their capital, which does not bode well for validating the USLG’s objective of finishing in the Top 4.

The Tangos therefore have a week off, “which might allow us to find a few people once more,” the president said. THE next matchit will therefore concern the championshipthe January 27with the reception of one of the very good teams in the group, Nantes-Rezé.
