Everything started well though. In the first 5 minutes, the two teams look at each other and size each other up. It is the OBRC which will gain the upper hand over its opponent and attack hard. Théo Vergez achieves a breakthrough of which he has the secret to penetrate the 22 meters of Beaumont. Despite the heavy weight on him, he has time to make the pass, which launches the back line to the wing of Joris Dasté, who finishes the movement by flattening.
After the transformation of Carassus, 7-0 for the “black and white”. The next 10 minutes, we test ourselves again, and it's a small duel of scorers with a penalty each for a score of 10-3, still for the OBRC. But the locals are fighting back a little and will occupy the land of their visitors. They spread the game across the entire width without advancing, but the Bigourdane defense is in place and putting up a front. However, there comes a moment when an opening is made, and the “blue and white” forwards rush in in force for the test of the Cochet pillar. The Oursbelillo-Borderais then fall back into their mistakes and make one mistake after another. The opener Lacome will convert two new penalties, against one for Thomas Carassus, putting his team in the lead at half-time, 16 to 13.
No bonus for Bigourdans
When it resumed, the OBRC was surprised. Unpretentious attack from the Tarn-et-Garonnais which ends at the foot. Two players are neck and neck to recover the ball, and the last rebound favors winger Cachot, who only has to dive for Beaumont's second try, bringing the score to 23-13 in the 41st minute. minute. Then, not very happy to be sent into touch following a tackle by Rigobert, a Beaumont player started a general brawl which cost each side a red card, plus a yellow for the OBRC. Despite their numerical inferiority, the latter will once again push the game. Quick in their attacks, they pierce the opposing defense and send the ball to the wing of Warren Dossou-Yovo, who overwhelms the last defenders to dive into the -goal (23-18, 53rd).
We could begin to believe it among the “black and white”. But the hope will be short-lived. The locals will occupy the field, and the visitors fall back into mistakes and precipitation. A final try from the second line of Beaumont will kill the match and take away the defensive bonus point, although deserved, from this OBRC team which, once again, did not lack valor, but somewhat lacked realism .
