The season was tough right to the end, and this week did not spare Bressol football. Definitely, nothing was easy for AS Bressols who lost at Saint-Juéry, in the Tarn, conceding a defeat without appeal on the score of 3 to 1. “The match was very complicated. We fell on a better team and we also lacked success”, analyze the leaders. This last championship game could have been a deliverance on the pitch, as well as on the scoreboard, but it is not. However, during this trip for which the club had invited the supporters to join the players in the coach, all eyes were on the final verdict. “The day was inevitably stressful in the sense that everyone was waiting to know if the Bressolais would maintain themselves in this regional 2 championship”, underlines a supporter.

Despite the disappointment on the pitch, the Bressol players were smiling again at the end of the afternoon, when they learned of the other results in the different pools. “We can be relieved because we finish in ninth place in the table, and the scores in the other pools ensure that we are not relegated.” Because, obviously, there was a sword of Damocles above the heads of the protégés of Christophe Auger and Nicolas Nougayrède. “What happiness! It’s a bit paradoxical because even after this defeat, we were able to celebrate.” A relief for Bressol football which therefore remains in the regional 2 championship. This is a good thing done, with recruitment already underway to prepare for next season. According to our information, around twenty players are already expected to join AS Bressols. New faces who could well, this week, appear on local sports facilities.
