US Tarascon burns out one of its last jokers by falling against Trèbes.
It is without Paul Guffroy and Laurent Blanc on the bench that this “cleaver” match begins for the Union Sportive Tarascon XV. “We want to create a spark. This is why we decided to part ways with the coaches of the “one”. Patrick Rescanières, co-president, wants to believe in a saving start from his protégés, as he settles down , with Nicolas Izaure, one of the coaches of the “two” on the bench Unfortunately, 1 hour 30 minutes later, when Mr. Bousquet whistled the end of the match, the scoreboard, 16-30. for the visitors, does not confirm the objective of the leaders However, by force of will, because one thing is certain none of the Reds and Whites cheated on the field on this Sunday under the sign of the traditional barrels, the locals lead. 10-3 in the 20th minute against the run of play, after Le Bastard equalized for Trèbes, Charenton intercepted and slipped between the bars, Tarascon defended, but was too much. undisciplined. The many injured, in key positions, are lacking And even if the young Lacroix, in the scrum, confirms all the hopes placed in him, The visitors pick up (10-9). They will make the difference in the last seven minutes of the first period. While Charenton put UST back at bay (13-9, 19th), the Carcassonne suburbs still got their hands on the ball. A penalty played manually by the pack (33rd), then a magnificent breakthrough from the twirling rear Le Bosc, on the siren, hurt the Ariège heads. Two tries and 16-21 at the break.
10 points from the first non-relegation
From the restart, Trèbes can kill the match. But the Pelo center, after a great action led by the talented “9”, Pont, forgot his partners on the outside while the goal was open to the visitors. We had to wait until the 76th minute to see, logically, the teammates of Vavaé Tuilagi, who came on the field, definitely make the difference. It's first Marson who breaks through from his wing, then, after a regrouping, Drault, the winger, who infiltrates and dives between the pages. 19-30, Charenton, again, having brought his team closer in the 67th minute. The cabin fell on the dog. However, US Tarascon camped for a long time in the opposing 22 m, without ever really shaking the Trébois. Sometimes, the stakes killed the game, but it is clear that Tarascon is in last place in the group, without any victory, 10 points from the first non-relegation place, Sainte-Affrique. The reception of L Salvetat Saint-Gilles, currently penultimate, who has just played on his field against Quillan, already looks like a last stand for the Reds and Whites.
Excellence B.- In reserve, on the
siren, Nathan Claverie hits the post and UST loses 18-19. An infuriating result. Like the players on the front page, the reservists are “getting into it”. But, here too, a little something is missing to make it better.

David Susigan (RC Trèbes coach): “I am very satisfied. We knew it would be tough against a team that is already fighting for its survival in the Federal. Our two teams showed a great state of mind and we came back with two victories. It was not a foregone conclusion in advance, far from it. Tarascon is not in the place it deserves.”
Patrick Rescanières (co-president of US Tarascon-sur-Ariège, with Michel Audabram and on the coaching bench yesterday): “We tried to create a trigger, it didn't work. The shortcomings are
too important. We hold on, we give in, but we are too weak, particularly in conquest. We are too technically correct.”
