Logically beaten in the North by Dunkerque, the Bretons were penalized by the lack of rotations (25-17).

The two weeks of rest related to the truce will have benefited the organizations, but clearly not the gunners. It was to him who put the least foot in front of the other.

Less rough in the finish than Cesson Rennes, the Dunkerquois detached themselves when necessary. In a defensive match, the slightest weakness in the other must be exploited to the maximum.
