A must in the landscape of Ovalie, the Capelain tournament is coming back this year.
last week met the ASC volunteers for the organization of this rugby festival, the Lède challenge. This date of May 8, traditional, unavoidable, that all rugby players of all ages, who came to play at all levels of the rugby school on this field that has become legendary for them, have anchored in their hearts. Synonymous with sharing, primary emotions, defeat or victory. When the hands lift the shield, unspeakable Grail, often one of the only these players who have grown up.
Thinking of all this, these volunteers have refined the smallest detail, from snack to the refreshment bar, including reception, changing rooms, tracing land, trays, referees, all the more this year. Indeed, this beautiful annual meeting had missed so much last year when, death at heart, they had to cancel this event due to too rainy weather and flooded terrains.
-They scrutinize all the forecasts every day, which prove to be milder, and want to welcome, as usual, the 10 clubs registered. Nearly 350 children, up to the under 12 (the under 14 being considered as “big” and having their own tournaments), invaded, impatient and joyful, in the morning, the meadows well prepared for the group phases, then, in the afternoon, the final phases.
10 clubs will faithfully participate in this return from the challenge. Neighbors closest to Lot-Lémance and 4 cantons, to the usual Miramont, Nérac, Sainte-Livrade, Villeneuve, Mussidan, Lalinde or Pont-du-Casse, to the most emblematic CABBG, anxious to take his team to this tournament, as recognition.
So, if you want to spend a beautiful day of rugby, the “place to be” is Lacapelle this May 8!
