the essential
Day marked by high-stakes matches in Regional 1, where Moissac will have to defend its leadership position, while its direct opponent will be in Montech, and Racing Montauban is heading to the Lot.
REGIONAL 1
Moissac – Castelnau Montratier, Sunday, at 3 p.m., in Moissac (Jo-Carabignac stadium). Referee: Mr. Mathias Theillaumas (Occitanie).
Building on their victory on the grounds of leader La Vallée du Girou, the players managed by Benoît Mothes took first place. A ranking that they will now have to defend against opponents who will have nothing to lose. This is the case this Sunday, with the arrival of neighbors Lotois. A well-structured team from the second part of the ranking. Good Moissagais supporters are expected to accompany the current good fortune.
Bretenoux Biars – Racing Montauban, Sunday, at 3 p.m., in Brétenoux (La Bourgnatelle stadium). Referee: Mr. Rémy Calmejane (Occitanie).
During the last two matches, at Bagatelle, the Racingmen narrowly won. A new mission awaits, the players coached by Julien Lacombe, and Youn Salle, on the move. The Lotois, undefeated at home, occupy third place, and are three points ahead of the Montalbanais, fourth. Racing goes in search of performance.
Montech – Vallée du Girou, Sunday, at 3:30 p.m., in Montech (Launet stadium). Referee: Ms. Camille Cassaigne (Occitanie).
Very big match in perspective, where the locals will host a team which has just lost at home, against Moissac, leaving it the place of leader of the group. We can think that the former residents of Federale 3 will come very motivated, to catch up immediately. The Montec hois of presidents Stéphane Pinasseau and David Gautier have the means, at home, to put forward their offensive and combative arguments.
REGIONAL 2
Saint-Jory/Bruguières – Lauzerte Quercy Pays de Serres, Sunday, at 3 p.m., in Saint-Jory (André-Lescure stadium). Referee: Mr. Émilien Flagel (Occitanie).
Lauzerte will have a lot to do this Sunday, going to the Toulouse suburbs to face the undefeated leader. A leader who saw his match last Sunday, at Monclar-de-Quercy, postponed. In this match, the Lauzertins will have nothing to lose, except to try to create the event, or the feat, by being the first to win, against the “big arm” team of the hen currently.
Launaguet – Monclar de Quercy, Sunday, at 3 p.m., in Launaguet (municipal stadium). Referee: Mr. Hacene Agoune (Occitanie).
Launaguet has had a complicated start to the championship with only one victory on the clock. We can therefore say that Avenir Monclarais, who saw their match last Sunday postponed, have a card to show. It's up to the players to be aware of this, for a victory which would place them at the top of the soft underbelly of the ranking.
REGIONAL 3
Montastruc – La Nicolaïte, Sunday, at 3 p.m., at Montastruc-la-Conseillère (municipal stadium). Referee: Mr. Thomas Bouscal (Occitanie).
The two teams are only separated by one point in the standings; a bonus point to the advantage of the Nicolaitans' opponents. Saint-Nicolas-de-la-Grave can therefore travel with the ambition of achieving a result away from home.
Left bank – Finhan, Sunday, at 3 p.m., in Brens (municipal stadium). Referee: Mr. Pierre-Arnaud Damian (Occitanie).
The match will be worth watching. The two teams are tied on points, in second place in their group. If the men of Guillaume Pays are lucky enough to come back with points, we can say that they are marking their territory. Conversely, nothing will be lost.
Garonna XV – Montbeton Lacourt, tomorrow Sunday, at 3 p.m., in Grisolles (Maurice-Mondoulet stadium). Referee: Mr. Thomas Dussaut (Nouvelle-Aquitaine).
This is the Tarn-et-Garonnais derby of this day. Garonna XV playing at home, against a team created this off-season, will be favored by the forecast. In other words, the Montbeton players will not have much to lose, except to try their luck.
Haute Vallée Aveyron – L’Honor de Cos, tomorrow Sunday, at 3 p.m., at Bertholène (municipal stadium). Referee: Mr. Loïs Puech (Occitanie).
We can expect a balanced match between two teams with similar backgrounds. President Bournet's Honorois therefore have a great opportunity to seize, far from their base in Léribosc.
Saint Antonin Noble Val – Rieupeyroux, Sunday, at 3 p.m., in Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val (Ponget stadium). Referee: Mr. Alain Cazelles (Occitanie).
Saint-Antonin should make short work of a team in bad shape in the standings, with only defeats on the clock. It's up to the locals to remain serious, without underestimating their opponent, by doing what is necessary to keep the score sheet.
