Only one qualification this weekend among the seven teams of the Périgord in the running this weekend during the regional final stages: that of Nontron facing his neighbor Lalinde for the semi-finals of Regional 1.
Winner of Lalinde 55-10 The previous Sunday in Monpazier, in the terroir final, Nontron gave this this Sunday at home, in much lower proportions (26-13). The CSN waited until the last half hour to make the difference against Lindois who scored their only test at the end of the game. Already promoted in Federal 3 and Champions of Dordogne, the Nontronnais can still believe in the regional title: they will play their semi-final of R1 next weekend.
On the other hand, the other Dordogne teams stop there. In promotion R1, also at the quarter-finals stadium, Issigeac, which led 6-17 to the 62nd, cashed two trials transformed in the last ten in Ustaritz (20-17). While Mussidan, at the Mauries stadium, was overthrown by Cestas (14-16), because of a test registered five minutes from the end, after having led 9-0 at halftime.
-In the quarter of regional 2, Trélissac collected four penalties in the first period in passing, two more after half-time and could only save the honor at the last minute (18-7). No better for Salignac, beaten 27-16 in Poitou by Nieuil-l’espring, in quarter of promotion R2. And in the R3 promotion semi-final, Villefranche-du-Périgord was stirred in Parentis (61-7), having played fifty minutes in inferiority.
Villefranche will now have to wait for the 32nd finals of the French championship on May 11 to replay. For the other five eliminated from Dordogne, the national competition will start on May 18.
