It was announced, this match of the 6th day of the Proligue against Tremblay had to be a real test to find out where JS Cherbourg handball was after a complicated start to the championship, linked in particular to the need to build a group with many new players.
Better in the first half…
But after this match lost 29 to 19, we certainly know that the Mauves are not in the game, but we do not know why. Because the Cherbourgeois were efficient and matched their visitors throughout the first half, which ended with a score of 12-12. In attack, Reida Rezzouki, Andry Goujon-Bellevue and Lucas Jametal “did the job”, while a well-established defense thwarted the offensive plans of Sherif Hamani, the former Cherbourgeois now coach of the Ile-de-France. We expected a mano a mano until the siren and we thought that the JS Cherbourg had finally acquired the rigor, the defensive aggressiveness and the efficiency in attack which have sometimes been lacking from the start. of the season.
… and the JSC sank
Only, there was the second half. It will remain in the history of the club in Proligue as the one during which the Mauves scored the fewest goals: 7 in total. Above all, the Cherbourgeois only scored twice during the first 20 minutes while Tremblay scored 16 goals in the same time! An incredible slump marked by repeated loss of balls, numerous failures on the goalkeeper (Cyril Dumoulin) and a defense that is falling apart. To the point that the tireless Mauves announcer lost his voice and any desire to continue to harangue the room. Again, a sad first.
At the end of this meeting, the JS Cherbourg in full doubt about the causes of its ailments is now 13th, before going to Nancy in a weekwith the other big, poorly ranked team in the championship, which, like Cherbourg, only counts two victories before its trip to Sarrebourg this evening.
