“An extraordinary day. Very satisfied with the result. The supporters responded and the players all wet their jerseys”, welcomed the president of the Baroudeurs Jean-Bruno Balent, not without an ounce of pride. A success which rewards the work of all the components of the club.
A benchmark match that the men of the Valette-Bentley-Pailles trio went for against all odds, despite the dire weather conditions which almost pushed the referee of the match Mohamed Drizza to put an end to it. With powerful gusts, the Tramontane blew in one go and without stopping in the spans of Daniel Ambert. But yesterday, the yellow and black armada, certainly relieved of some of its executives (eight absent including Canet, Boyer, Bouregba) was unable to do anything, facing a gleaming Salanquaise.
From the start of the game, the locals banged their fists on the table. On the first balls carried, Carcassonne already made a mistake. Meresta and her teammates don't ask for that much! The powerful Ilias Bergal, in the corner, punished by the undisciplined Audois. This time, it is the Carcassonne captain Lucas Albert who pays the price. A poorly negotiated high ball which, a few moments later, allowed Amine Miloudi to overtake an opposing defense that was far too wait-and-see. Never two without three! A quarter of an hour into the game, Morgan Escaré made a mistake, allowing Theresin to cross the line (12-0). Against all expectations, the city is on its knees. Fortunately, the few air holes in Salanquais allow the somewhat featherless Canaries to stay in contact.
But the Pianenque city is in a big day and nothing and no one will stand in its way! And this even if the locals left a crazy energy during the first act. In the ranks of Frédéric Camel, we feel the wind turning. Immediately, we took advantage of the opponent's indiscipline and first Vincent Albert, then Georgy Gambaro and Djybril Dauliac sounded the revolt. At this precise moment, Carcassonne has control of the match (24-22). This is without counting on the determination and self-sacrifice of the 17 Salanquais players who, through Ilias Bergal, pay the last honours. Once again, Carcassonne fell. “The match was very intense, we were missing many players. We got through “, growled Lucas Rodriguez, substitute for Carcassonne.
At the start of the school year, the Audois will have to get their heads straight quickly.
