Basketball: the Frontignanais offer themselves a final that looks like a ray of sunshine

La meilleure des revanches face à Saint-Gély.

En Coupe de l’Hérault, face à Saint-Gély, le FLPB a remporté sa demi-finale (97-95) après deux prolongations ce mercredi 27 mars.

Twice in five days. Frontignan La Peyrade Basket and Saint-Gély, who faced each other on Saturday in the pre-national championship, met again on the floor of the Roger-Arnaud room this Wednesday, March 27, this time on behalf of the Coupe de l’Hérault.

Two points difference this time!

With a defeat of a small point in the championship, it was a scent of revenge that floated in the Lapeyradoise den. For these two teams, a Cup final represented the opportunity to obtain access at the end of the season. Definitely left behind in the championship, they would like to see a trophy, even departmental, displayed in their window.

As in the previous meeting, this semi-final was indecisive to say the least. It was necessary to resort to extension twice before finding a way out of a captivating crossover. It was at the buzzer that the unalterable Steven Ganmavo, who will end up deserving his statue for the many services rendered, put an end to the suspense by sending his team to the final.

"Always" two without three ?

The other semi-final pitted the CTC Ouest-Montpellier-Métropole-Basket against the Pays de Lunel-Basket team on Tuesday evening. These are logically the “Sky and rose” Montpellier who won, they will face their Frontignan counterparts for the third time this season.

To date, they lead two victories to zero, the opportunity to reduce the score or even surpass it with a victory in the final which would count at least double… The final will take place in Castelnau-le-Lez next May.

Young people too

The Coupe de l’Hérault smiles on Frontignan LPB at the end of the season. If the step was too high for the U13 women, who saw their good run come to an end in the semi-final against Castelnau, the U13 men will also compete in a final. Winners of the Silver Cross 70-57, they will return to Pézenas to try to add a title to their list of achievements.
