With a disappointing sporting record, team one flirted with relegation. Lureaux review with the president of the RCSA.
“It is a season that ends unfortunately like the others and without final stages that were the goal of the season.” This is the soft-amer and a bit fatalistic observation made by Patrick Galtier, the president of the RCSA. An objective far from being achieved and it is rather down of the painting and the fight for the maintenance which occupied the spirits a large part of the season. With 7 games won for ten defeats and draw, the record is far from positive.
“We had a large number of injured at a crucial time in the championship,” said the manager. For me there were two turners of the season. First of all the match against the Salvetat that we lose from a point. If we had won it, we reached the top of the painting and we entered a new dynamic. The second, and it hurt us later, it was the match against the Saudrune Wounded including Alexandre Barthès who had to stop rugby. “
Absences that weighed heavily in the RCSA workforce
The final absence of Alexandre Barthès weighed heavily for the rest of the season as the player, by his exemplary behavior and his involvement in the game, had an undeniable impact on the performances of the team. A team “which has come close to administrative relegation for lack of workforce and homogeneity in particular of the reserve where there have been many changes during the season.”
-A balance sheet far from being catastrophic
A situation that brought the club recalled former players to fill the lack of workforce due in part “to the lack of involvement of young people, especially for training, a scourge of today which affects all sports. However, the club has managed to put itself at the level of fear in the belly and to hang the big ones at home but went to lose against less well -classified teams.” The sports record is far from catastrophic and it is very largely due to the efficiency of Henri Castan the regular scorer of the team which has with Keryann Garvi two very good scorers.
Only 19 trials marked during the season
Henri Castan by his foot success was the tree that hid the forest. He maintained the afloat team and allowed him to obtain important victories. The statistics are more than talking: he scored more than 60 % of the points of his team and we even obtain the figure of 67 % if we count the 22 points successful at the foot by Keryann Garvi who was very little asked this season.
A ratio that highlights the offensive deficiencies of the Holy Affricans who only marked 19 trials during the season. By comparison Tarascon good last marked it… 33!
Elements that the coaches who have been renewed in their functions, will have to take into account next season to hope to play the top of the table. For the president “the most urgent is to strengthen the workforce by the arrival of at least fifteen additional players.” He also confirms “that there will be no revolution next season.” Reinforced in this “by good dynamics at all levels of the club.”
