The season ends in D2 and everything is obviously not settled as well in the top as in the bottom of table. There are those who know what to expect, Lorient and Clermont with the dams and therefore uncertainty for maintaining the season for next season. For the climb too. If the Val d'Orge has definitively validated its accession to D1, the outcome is pending with for the moment La Roche-sur-Yon back in the elite.



Group A - La Roche in D1 pending appeal


The last weekend of the championship was marked by the incredible turnaround in favor of La Roche-sur-Yon, which is currently promoted in D1. With the four points removed in Lille by the FFF, because of an irregularity on the license of a player, the players of Malika Bousseau could hope to find the D1 in case of victory against Brest and a draw or a defeat of the LOSC on the lawn of Arras.


The LOSC was held in check (0-0) by Arras in the North derby, a match that we followed Sunday afternoon. This result opened the door to a rise in La Roche-sur-Yon after being relegated to D2 last season. An accession they got by winning seven goals to one (7-1) against Brest, including goals by Lisa Fragoli, Charlotte Peslerbe or Claire Guillard.


La Roche who was already leading 3-1 at the break, and who took off after the locker room. This victory makes La Roche the best attack of D2 with 75 goals and especially allows them to grab one of the two tickets to access D1. A provisional decision since the FFF will examine the recourse formulated by the LOSC and it is therefore on the administrative field that the outcome of Group A will be decided.


With the points removed at the LOSC, the two teams are in fact equal points and La Roche wins on the basis of goal-average particular, since the points removed correspond to the Lille 5-1 win against the players of Vendée, result canceled today. The ESOF beat LOSC 2-1 in the first leg, which makes the difference for the moment.


The dams for Lorient, the beautiful series of the Remoises


While waiting for the final denouement at the top of the table, the games are made in the race to maintain. Lorient ensured his place of barrage after his victory five goals to three (5-3) on the lawn of Saint-Maur. A game where players Alain Le Dour have returned twice before winning the game late with goals from Amandine Sevin penalty and Rachel Robert in stoppage time.


This success of the Lorientaises put an end to the hopes of the AG Caen who in any case needed a victory on the lawn of FC Rouen. The match turned to the advantage of the Rouennaises who won (2-1) thanks to goals from Zoé Delaunay and Tiffany Vassant. The Avant Garde Caennaise who is the second team of Group B to go directly with Boulogne-sur-Mer, dry beaten this weekend by the Stade de Reims on the score of 4-0.


Reims finished the season with a run of eight games without losses, and a second half of the season when Reims was in the rhythm of the best teams in the group, which allows him to finish the season in fifth place. Another team that finished the season, fourth in the standings, and who won this weekend against Le Mans with goals from Audrey February and Leslie Sychareunh.

Group B - The Val d'Orge in D1, Aurillac went to seek the maintenance


At the top of the table, the Val d'Orge has finally managed to hold on to first place despite the return of Dijon and Grenoble on the last days. The victory of the Val d'Orge (3-1) against Toulouse ensures the rise to the club of Essonne, while Dijon and Grenoble also won Sunday.=> The Val d'Orge did not miss the last step


The players of Sandrine Mathivet took the three points on the lawn of Puy, already assured of a relegation to the lower level for the next season. A 4-0 victory for the Dijonnaises while Grenoble won 3-1 on the lawn of Clermont, including a double Nadjma Ali Nadjim.


A result that does not change the fate of Grenoble, third at the end of this final day, but for Clermont, this setback at home means that the Auvergnates will play the roadblocks to hope to stay next season. Because on another field of the region, Aurillac-Arpajon went to get the draw against Yzeure (1-1). An equalizer Hatoumata Badiaga that allows the FC2A to pass Clermont in favor of a better goal-average particular.


The Aurillac players who concluded a very good recovery, after taking twelve points in the last six days (3 wins and 3 draws), which allowed Aurillac-Arpajon to seek support without even having to go through dams. The other team that could have ended up as a jumper is the ESAP Metz, but the Lorraines have managed to get away with a 4-0 win on the turf of Toulon, which in turn will go down in DH.


Group B where the Messines are the only team promoted to not be concerned by the descent at the end of the season. Clermont jumper and Toulon relegated, a pattern found in Group A with Brest remaining in D2 and the other two promoted Boulogne and Caen back in the third division. A difficulty that could be expected with the reform of the D2 with a championship made more difficult to access for the teams that rode this year.


Saturday, Vendenheim had imposed five goals to zero (5-0) against Nimes in the only match of the weekend without real stake for the rise and / or the descent, the two teams who finished respectively at the fifth and in sixth place.
