Outsiders at the whistle, the Lislois leave in the Drôme hero. On Sunday, the US reserve L’Isle-Jourdain signed one of the best performances of its season by winning on the lawn of Triscastin, one of the favorites for the title, to open their quarter-finals.
Faced with the Drômoise agreement of Tiscatin, the Lislois did not lead it wide on Sunday. Indeed, their opponents were one of the favorites for the title. They finished largely first in hen, just like in Federal 1, and shaded everyone with their 17 successes during the regular season.
So this trip at the foot of the power plant was not announced under the best auspices. And yet, the Lislois, in perfect Gascons, took up the challenge in the face of a training that flirted twice this year with a 70 -point score.

The coaches’ credo: Take advantage of the fact that the Drômois were at rest three weeks to surprise them and panic the counters at the level of the game. They were received 5 out of 5 by the players who started drum beating with a test of Charly Louis, while the face had not yet taken a dial. 0 to 7 with the transformation of Labro.
Then, 5 to 7 in the third, with the Drômoise replica on a Gers’ awkwardness. But it was much more necessary to discourage the Lislois who continued to send a lot of games and made an XXL performance by alternating the game, showing a whole range of daring and creative actions.
The Lislois took out the barbed wire
And the Drômois Planchot has panicked for the Gascons: 17th, COT test (5/12); 23rd, Test of Cavalli, transformed by Labro (5 to 19); doubled by COT (5/26, 26th); Penalty and essay in the process for Tiscastin which returns to 15 to 26. And to close this first dream act, Labro goes to the test and transforms it to the 39th. The half-time is whistled on the score of 15 to 33.
The second period was quite different. The Lislois had to quickly play 13 against 15 following two yellow cards. And of course, the locals took advantage of it with a penalty test (22 to 33, 46th). Labro’s penalty at the 64th closed the Lislois score which came into resistance in a particularly trying end of the match.

At the 80th, Tiscastin returned to 29 to 36 following a new test, and seven minutes of additional time to play. The USL held out and pocketed a magnificent success which allows it to join the quarter -finals, where Gaillac will wait for it firm this Sunday on a land to be determined.
