Sports crisis with a seventh setback in a row, internal crisis with deep disagreements in the staff which led to the departure of Tony Giraud, it is an understatement to say that Surgères is experiencing the last turbulent weeks in 2024. Saturday December 21, under rainstorms water and on very muddy terrain (while the Ile-de-France residents have a synthetic which would have been more recommended given the conditions), the Maritimes were difficult to see as they seemed overwhelmed, taking the tide entry.
Versailles in fact set the scene from its first penetrating group, illicitly interrupted. Penalty try, yellow card in Surgères, a nightmarish start. The XV des Yvelines, which played 400 meters from the famous Palace of Versailles, easily doubled the lead through its right winger Blondel, who scored twice at the end of the game. As the big players planted a third try, collective this one, before the break, mass was quickly said, even if Alcacebe unlocked the SCS counter with his foot (19-3).
Contant saves honor
Same scenario or almost during the second act. Contant planted the only Surgerian test. A very small consolation given the context as Versailles unfolded, relying in particular on its domination up front. The absences of Taufa, Alvarez, Da Silva and Ramade cannot explain everything on the Dairy side. It's time for the club to get its act together. In its entirety.
