Table tennis: “All lights green” for the Dinannaise Entente – Dinan

The 2021-2022 season, sophisticated, didn't taint the morale of Gilles Lucas. On Saturday morning, the president of the Dinannaise Table Tennis Entente opened his eleventh common assembly with this sentence: “We're going to start off on the right foot with a rejuvenated office and all the lights on green”.

The pandemic has not spared the desk tennis membership, which has seen its workforce diminished: “From 165 licensees, we went down to 118. It took time to put everything back in place by maintaining our six teams engaged in the championship. It was sometimes difficult to compose the teams”, analyzes Gilles Lucas.

Valentin Aubergier strengthens the pennant crew

The National 3 crew has skilled ups and downs throughout each phases resulting from sophisticated recruitment and finds itself demoted to Prenational. It is strengthened in an exquisite approach with the arrival of Valentin Aubergier, quantity 514, defector from the Cesson membership (35): “Three years in the past, the Entente had already requested me however I used to be president of the committee of group of France 2021. We received again in contact and I had an excellent feeling with the president, Gilles Lucas. The Dinannais membership mission tempted me, it was time to depart the Cesson N2. After sixteen years in National, Valentin Aubergier has a transparent goal: “The rise of Dinan in N3 at the end of the first phase. We'll get there, I'm sure of it.”

Mathis Lebars will succeed Nicolas Jan

To compensate for the departure of Nicolas Jan, a graduate coach, the Entente has not yet found the ideal profile. “Our player Mathis Lebars will take the reins after two years of training in Nantes. In the meantime, he will sign an apprenticeship contract with us, so we are looking for a candidate for a two-year fixed-term contract,” specifies Gilles Lucas.

Regarding the workplace, “the old team let go of the business after ten years of service. We therefore leave on a rejuvenated office, indicates the president. We are all ready to organize our traditional National B tournament on October 29 and 30. And why not, the Côtes-d'Armor championship”.
