Will JS Cherbourg play in the Starligue next season? Answer this Sunday or even this Saturday evening.
Second in the Proligue regular season, the handball team from La Manche faces Pontault-Combault (Seine-et-Marne) in the semi-final of the Final Four this Saturday (6 p.m.) in Dijon.
Possible scenarios for Mauves
In case of defeatthe Mauves will be eliminated and will remain in the Proligue.
In case of victorythe JSC will play the final of the play-offs the next day against the winner of the match between Ivry and Sélestat which is played a little earlier (Saturday at 3:15 p.m.).
Sunday’s final will designate the “Champion of France” of Proligue. The winner will move up to the Starleague. And important information: if the winner is Ivry, the finalist will go up to the Starligue. Thus, if Ivry – who finished top of the regular phase – beats Sélestat, the winner of Cherbourg – Pontault-Combault will officially enter the elite on Saturday evening. Otherwise, we will have to wait for the result of the final on Sunday.
