On the field, everything went well between Stade Belvésois and Villeneuve-sur-Lot. Sunday November 24, the Périgord club won against Villeneuvois (26-9), after a tight but rather calm meeting: only two yellow cards distributed.
On the other hand, once the final whistle blew, everything got worse. The fault lies in a precedent between the cadets of Ovalis 24 (gathering of Bugue, Belvès, Lalinde, Saint-Cyprien and du Buisson) and their counterparts from Villeneuve-sur-Lot. Last season, a general fight between the two teams went under the radar.
For this Fédérale 2 match, the Ovalis 24 cadets were in the stands. On the Lot-et-Garonnais side, supporters, including players' wives, upset the Périgourdins. The tension continued to rise.
After the final whistle, the Belvès players quietly returned to the locker room while the Villeneuvois climbed into the stands to join their loved ones. This is where a fight broke out with the Périgord cadets.
“In the end, young people hung on,” regrets Jean-Pierre Peuch, the president of Stade Belvésois. With players from Villeneuve. These are young people from our region who are unbearable, continues the leader. I tried to turn it off…” In vain.
It didn't stop there. The Belvésois came out of the locker room and joined the priests. Meanwhile, the referees and the delegate were in their locker room and saw nothing. But they still have the opportunity to write a report. Result: a few split lips. As for the young Périgourdins, “I brought them together afterwards,” fumes Jean-Pierre Peuch. It smoked. They are on probation. »
