VIDEO. Amateur rugby – Local Finals in Lot-et-Garonne: Castelmoron knocks AS Capelaine into Regional 2 reserves

Under a fairly clement sky, in front of a well-stocked stand from both peoples, at the end of a pleasant and above all committed match, the “black and yellow” of Castelmoron kept their shield with a slightly heavy score, which leaves think that the “red and white” were overwhelmed.

An interception that kills all suspense

Both teams enter the field with the desire to show their game, their character, their ambition. Castelmoron, sure of his strength, of his automatisms, comes in master over the fifty meters capelains. The ASC, constant in its effective contests, fought back and repelled the attacks. But in a superb movement, constructed, fast, incisive, winger Sousa Chapas pierces the defense and dives Top 14 style into the middle of the posts (7-0, 11th).

The game is on. It will be a tough and close fight between Capelains who come together, valiant, pressing their opponents without being rewarded, and Castelmoron, increasingly confident, who puts his game in place calmly. Especially since Bertrand Cabanes’ friends are once again in danger. They must then resist with heroic gestures and go on the attack again, all too clearly.

It is written that nothing will smile on them, confirming the boys of Lot in their DNA, their incursions. A thunderous interception from the other winger Dufau is a stab that could have brought down the bravest (14-0, 29th). The virile choir of Castelmoron is jubilant, punctuated by the drums which punctuate the “black” advances.

Castelmoron all in control

“You have to give everything,” urges an ASC supporter after half-time. The ace ! President Bielle’s players return with even more “baraka” and appetite, passing two penalties to reinforce their power, their efficiency (20-0, 60th). The score swells, ruthlessly, but it is the Capelains who dominate in possession of the ball, in the shelling which approaches the coveted line.

Opposite, an iron defense as if multiplied and united which annihilates all hope. Dominating is not winning! Lacapelle does not give up in the face of her pet peeve, she gets on with it, but misses too many points in this fifteen-a-side game that she has experienced only too rarely this season.

Finally, the honor will be safe with their only try from Thomas Delcoustal (20-5, 70th). Castelmoron drives the point home and confirms its supremacy by adding a third try on the gong (27-5, 80th). “Here, here is Castel!” », sings the “black and yellow” audience, proudly, under the golden confetti. But the “red and white” public is also proud of its valiant but disappointed fighters.
