Rugby: Cahors Lot XIII loses in the quarter-final without blushing

The bar was very high for the young team of rugby 13 of CahorsCahors Lot XIII, facing Ferrals on his land on Saturday May 4, 2024, for a place in semi-final of the French National 1 Championship.

Two tries from Cahors at the start of the match

However, Cahors Lot XIII started the match boldly and would surprise their opponents with a try from the 5th^e minute then a second at 22^e and resisting for almost half an hour the repeated assaults of a very good team of Ferrals, very fast and clearly physically superior.

After the start of the match to the advantage of Cahors who led 10 to 0 in the 25th^e minute, the Ferral machine came back to lead 16 to 10 at half-time and worsen the score in 2^e half-time, with 4 tries to nothing including 3 in the last 10 minutes, taking advantage of numerical superiority after a yellow card in the 70th^e minute against Cahors.

End of season for Cahors Lot XIII

For Cahors: 2 attempts (4^e22^e minute), K. Delage, 1 transformation: M. Méravilles.

For Ferrals: 7 tries (25^e31^e37^e64^e73^e77^e79^e minutes), 4 conversions, 1 penalty.

The score, too heavy as a result, does not really reflect the game and if Ferrals fully deserves its victory, Cahors does not have to be ashamed of its defeat having shown courage and solidarity never denied in the face of stronger, faster players with elite experience.

The season therefore ends there for Cahors Lot XIII which is installed just behind the big Nationale 1 teams and can hope for better next season thanks to the experience acquired and with the support of Villefranche de Rouergue, of which Cahors is reserve, who that same day won the title of French Champion of Elite 2 and will move up to Elite 1 next September.

Great matches in perspective for the 2024/2025 season!
