The 19th day of Regional 2 crushed Douvres’ last hopes. The bottom team suffered a 5-0 defeat against Dives-Cabourg on Sunday, April 26, 2026, and is now eight points behind what appears to be the first non-relegatable team (the number of relegations depends on the number of normand descents to National 3). With three matches left, Yohan Peuvrel is under no illusions. The coach is living his final weeks at the helm of the team, and he announces it to us at JSD (see below).
On the other hand, Muance is celebrating. Jimmy Blaskevic’s team secured a second consecutive victory against Falaise, which dashed their promotion hopes (1-2). Maxence Marie equalized in the first half, and Thomas Psuja scored the winning goal from a penalty kick with ten minutes left. This strong performance has Muance in ninth place. However, Condé-sur-Sarthe will face Maladrerie’s reserve team on Saturday, May 2, 2026.
Two points ahead of Muance, ASPTT Caen’s reserve team made a wise decision by defeating Vire’s team 3-0. The Postiers, who were in great danger, can breathe a little easier. They are now one point behind MOS, who will host Condé-sur-Sarthe on Saturday, May 2, 2026. In this multi-level championship, Ifs is only three points away from the podium. The team from Ifs secured their ninth victory against Condé-sur-Sarthe (2-3).
Yacin Azdad, Selim Besri, and Dorian Ragonnet scored for Ifs, who have been in great form in the second half of the season (see below). Ifs was trailing 1-0 at halftime, went ahead 2-1, were equalized, and ultimately scored the winning goal with ten minutes left.
Post-match quotes
Joris Leclerc, Muance FC forward: “After a tough start, where we watched them play, we managed to turn things around. It was a beautiful match under the sun. This victory is very important for our group against the third-placed team, allowing us to move out of the relegation zone. Condé-sur-Sarthe, who has two games in hand, is right behind us. We have three very interesting final matches to play, including two at home. We will not give up until the end to secure our survival.”
Yohan Peuvrel, JS Douvres coach: “It was tough, all around. The assessment is easy. When you don’t train, it’s difficult to win. We are lacking in every aspect, physically, technically, tactically. The defeat is deserved. What’s unfortunate is that we had two 0-0 situations that could have brought us back into the game. We have too many deficiencies at the moment. There are many absences. Today, we don’t have the R2 level. The assessment is harsh, but we need to be realistic. It’s a real pity. I think we can forget about avoiding relegation, especially since direct competitors won. There are three matches left, and the goal is to finish the season well. I will step down for a new project. After ten years at Douvres, it’s time to stop at the club. I won’t give up, because it’s in my values, but there will be a new direction at the club.”
Johan Le Corre, AS Ifs coach: “I want to congratulate the players for their performance on a very challenging field. We respected the championship and the opponent by putting in the necessary effort. The players showed a great spirit. We were looking for verticality. We were efficient, which was missing in the previous match against Falaise. We had more presence in front of the goal at halftime, and our crosses found takers. It’s a great victory against an opponent fighting for survival. This win solidifies our position in the upper half of the table. Our aim is to finish as high as possible. We have two home games left and a direct clash with Dives, who are just ahead of us. In the second half of the season, we have five wins, two losses, and a draw. We are in the top 2. This shows the quality of the team.”
