PBear the adventure with next weekend the semi-final with the Audois de Carcassonne, or finish the season on this cleaver match, such was the stake of this dam between Catalans and Villeneuvois this Saturday. That is to say if the two teams played big and suddenly discover particularly motivated.

Especially the Catalans who attacked the match to the floor. From the 8th^e Minute, after an attack on the wing of Castany and Martin, and a very good moving kick of this same Castany, Rey at the end of the line marked the first test of the meeting. It was imitated eight minutes later by the other Darrelatour winger at the end of the line on a classic attack. The Catalans, masters of the ball at the start of the match, were even on the verge of aggravating their advance. But after having suffered, little by little, the leopards of Villeneuve-sur-Lot resumed and dominated territorially the last ten minutes of the first period.

The Lot-et-Garonnais returned to the scoring first by Wambergue, while potential after an outfit played ten meters from the in-goal line, then by Gautier at the conclusion of a large-scale attack. So much so that after forty minutes of play, the counters were reset to zero, and the score of 12 to 12 suggested a particularly lively and disputed second half.

Go to Domec

Except that the second period started in the worst way for the Catalans. From the 4th^e Minute indeed, Bachouck, on a classic attack, redoubled his center to score in the corner, before three minutes later, the rear Aiken was played out three defenders to also mark in the corner. And it was not over. Outdated in speed and in the envy, the locals undergo the grip of unleashed Villeneuvois. And it is very logically that to escape, on a classic attack, marked inserted in his three-quarters: 28 to 12 at the hour of play, it was really badly committed for Catalans who suffered especially physically.

“We are delighted with the result of course, but also in the way we built this victory”

The ordeal of the premises continued after Lapierre failed one meter from the line. On the recovery, Aiken added his second personal test which completed the Villeneuvoise victory. In the last five minutes, the Catalans played their all-out, but the Villeneuvois defended their line very well.

And finally, it was against all odds, that visitors created the feat and qualified for the semi-finals. They will go next Sunday to challenge Carcassonne on his land in Domec. It is very logical with regard to a meeting dominated by a team from Villeneuve-sur-Lot playing on a much higher pace.

Reaction

We expected a very hard match, but we had prepared very well. The start of the match was difficult, but we did not disun on, we continued to play our game. This qualification in the semi-finals is the award of an exemplary season for an ensemble that has made the efforts to progress. Against Carcassonne, we will play without complex and pressure, like today. »»
