SEASON 81/82
OF THE DESPAIR TO THE CUT OF EUROPE

Sacred champions of France in National II 1981 facing the team of Tours, the Trinitaires Pellenghellis, Del Fury, Prantoni, Sabbah, Didier, Evanghellou and Lucio know that they have to play a very difficult championship.

It is made of it the to the opposition of the seven others better clubs French.

The Kremlin-Bicêtre (Hatem, Vinitzki), ace Messine (Birocheau, Change), the VGA St. Maur, Levallois (Decree), The Face, Cleon and Tours (Gernot).

On the paper the trinitaires is part OF THE SMALL TEAMS. The calculation is simple: to finish among the six first and to play a Cup of Europe or to finish at the last two places and to take the direction of the National II.

The matches to go where the Trinidad receives most his/her/its adversaries are made of disillusions.

Except one hopeless match 10/10 pulled outside from the Kremlin-Bicêtre, the Trinitaireses miss the stage coach at home facing The Face, don't win against Tours while being in favorable position, tilt 9-11 facing Cleon, a team who seemed the weakest of the share.

In spite of some individual exploits, the Trinitaireses finish these matches to go next to last, with the optics of the matches back far from being favorable.

The state of mind seems touched and some already make some accounts on the National II.

The first rematch to The Face balances itself by a defeat 7-13 and it seems to be confirmed that The Trinidad will finish to best 7th of the Championship.

It is whereas all change...

With the energy of the despair, The Trinidad achieves the most laudatory result of the year: to beat in his/her/its room of the gymnasium of the Trinidad the Champion of France in title, the team of the Kremlin-Bicêtre 13 to 7.

A match that reveals us a transformed formation trinitaire all of a sudden.

Prantoni continues its fellow of path in team TO, Lucio starts in some days" exploding ", Evanghelou in his/her/its ungrateful role made his/her/its work well, Sabbah aligns victory on victory, Pellinghelli found the perfect carburation and cheek to the cat and to the mouse with good number of adversaries, Didier pursues his work of undermining.

The Trinidad strengthens its place of 7th after this match.

Remain 2 days...

The Trinidad moves to Tours (8th): the match of the last.

All defeat is forbidden. To it yours: victory Trinitaire 12-8.

The Trinidad comes closer of the 6th: Cleon but is always 7th.

Remain one day The Trinidad moves to Cleon.

The calculation is simple: forbidden Defeat, forbidden hopeless match.

Victory 11-9 maintains it makes itself to the set-average.

Victory 12-8, The Trinidad maintains itself.

All this with the memory of the match to go lost 9-11 to the gymnasium of The Trinidad facing a team who doesn't let itself make to the clean as to the figurative.

A match where one season of six months depends on four hours of competition, where all sacrifices are either rewarded shattered, where the result is synonymous of cleaver.

A match where each player is responsible and bound for his/her/its team, of his/her/its club.

But a match as likes them the Trinitaires baroudeurs.

A match that will always take place in favor of the Trinitaireses that led 10-8, then 11-8.

The season depends therefore on one only and last match of a quarter of hour after six months of efforts.

That sport is sometimes hard!

Victory Trinitaire 12-8.

The Trinidad finishes 6th of the Championship of France therefore in National I and will dispute a Cup of Europe.

Beautiful epic that the one of this nice team" a few mad" but, oh how much endearing.
