And it may also be the very last bicycle post as the weather prediction is for a possible 6 to 10 inches of snow before the weekend is out which would certainly bring to a final and irrevocable close my bicycle riding season.
Ligue 2 resumed today and Le Havre battled from 2 behind in the second half to earn a 3-3 draw with Reims. The result moves Le Havre into first place alone on points but opens the door for Nantes in its Monday evening encounter at Montpellier. Nantes trails by a single point and can retake the top position by snatching the away 3 points at Montpellier. This is certainly no easy task as Montpellier is solidly in the top half of the league but nonetheless the opportunity is there.
The draw for the 8th round of la Coupe de France has been held and Nantes has drawn another 6th division opponent. The game is scheduled for either the 15th or 16th of December at Union Sportive Municipale de Saran. Saran is a suburb of Orleans. Drawing another lowly opponent is good luck for Nantes as the draw included 3 games where Ligue 2 teams will be matched against other teams from Ligue 2.
44 games are scheduled for the December weekend, reducing the field to the 44 winners who will be joined in the draw for the next round by the 20 teams of Ligue 1. Nantes has drawn a 6th level opponent for this round but faces the probability of seeing much stronger opposition if they can continue on.
The complete draw is reported on the Nantes website and a team I have recently mentioned is also still alive: Paris FC will be at home to Villefranche or Feurs.

That's a lot of snow -- even the lower end of it will mean you have to drag out the snowblower. Hope it is all gassed up and ready to go. SS
Good hockey game last night. Ms Marvin had a good outing. TT
