The French football season is due to return this weekend after an extended break for the winter and festive seasons. Barring new unwanted delays, the rescheduled Round One match between the Bordeaux Bombers and the Strasbourg Kangourous is set to take place in Bordeaux. It marks a vital game for both teams. Strasbourg currently sits inside the top four and another win could cement that spot a little longer. Bordeaux also needs a win to get away from the lower rungs of the ladder.

Later this month the other rescheduled Round Three match between the ALFA Lions and the Paris Cockerels will be played in Lyon. Once again both teams need this win, the Lions to claw their way off the bottom of the ladder and the Cockerels to secure their place in the top four. The match is scheduled for 20th February, the same day as the first of the Round Five matches featuring the Bordeaux Bombers versus the Perpignan Tigers and the Toulouse Hawks versus the Paris Cockatoos.

Round Five will be completed on 27th February when the ALFA Lions meet the Strasbourg Kangourous.

As the competition currently stands, the ladder sees:

1. Cergy-Pontoise Coyotes (12 points)
2. Paris Cockatoos (9 points)
3. Paris Cockerels (6 points)
4. Strasbourg Kangourous (6 points)
5. Perpignan Tigers (5 points
6. Toulouse Hawks (4 points)
7. Bordeaux Bombers (2 points)
8. ALFA Lions (1 point)
