Le troisième ligne Mehdi Kadous a inscrit le deuxième essai piscénois. – Robert Rivière
Une victoire, un match nul et deux défaites, tel est le bilan des clubs héraultais en Fédérale 2 ce week-end.
The only success of the weekend is to the credit of Pézenas. The locals attacked the match with full force and settled into the visiting camp. Bérard took advantage of this to open the score on a penalty (3-0, 2nd). In their desire to do well, they then confused speed with haste and were unable to capitalize on their enormous domination (8-10, 33rd).
The second period was more favorable to the locals, making the break in five minutes. First with a try from Kadous (15-10, 50th), then with a penalty try awarded following a collapsed maul (22-10, 55th).
Once again, the very realistic Monegasques came back on their heels with a try from Villon (22-17, 71st). The latter then pushed hard to try to secure victory but the local defence held firm and a final penalty from Gayé during stoppage time deprived them of the defensive bonus.
With this victory, the Piscénois overtook the Monegasques in the ranking and moved up to third place. “ We wanted to get into the Top 3, captain Fabio Calas is satisfied. We succeeded. But this match was not easy because we did not manage to capitalize in the first half. “
Palavas joined at the end, Servian-Boujan and Jacou in the hard
For the reception of Aubagne, Palavas wanted to redeem himself after the cruel disappointment of the previous day on the Jacou field. Missed!
A penalty from Llorente allows the game to start in favor of the home team (12th). And if the visitors responded, Llorente does it again and allows his team to take the lead just before the break (6-5).
RCMP pushes, after a ball recovered in their half and quickly exited in the left corridor, passed from hand to hand to the right corridor, Compagnon finds the opening scoring the first Palavasien try (55th), Llorente again for the transformation. Aubagne do not give up and go up the field to the opponents' 22m. The latter show opportunism and recover the ball, Rodriguez flattened to give hope to the visitors (73rd). Aubagne does it again and transforms to equalize (19-19).
Servian-Boujan for his part faced the good team of Angles who with this success seizes the first place of the championship. Deprived of Loranzo, gone off with an injury in the first minutes, the locals quickly felt a bad wind blowing at the Labatut stadium. Camacho and his five penalties were not enough to hope for anything, the Gardois taking advantage of the moments of hesitation within the local XV. Servian-Boujan is in the hard certainly, but thanks to the good start of the season signed, still far from the red zone.
Finally, the red lantern Jacou received the Carfistes of Saint-Raphaël, a team playing in the first half of the table. The physical ardor and the defensive impact on the one hand, the blows of fate on the other, did not leave much creative space to the Jacoumards who were in contact for a while.
On two occasions, Carf would too easily get past a defense that was nevertheless valiant in first intention. The accelerations of winger Bini, the defensive climbs of full-back Nadau, the cutting edge of Barredo were only energy, certainly well spent, but at a loss.
The touchline combinations between flanker Guttierez for the departures of pillar Dupin made the difference, but a wave of injuries made Jacou lose his best weapons: Barredo, Dupin and captain Kralfa at the break. The scrum remained honourable but the clearances found a carfiste cover that was far too present.
In itself, this match will have shown a physical density that was too unequal between the two teams, although each Jacoumard largely did his part.
