the essential
The four Aveyron teams competing in the 2nd regional round (or national round of 128) of the Coupe de France will have one thing in common this weekend: they will come up against a team from Haut-Garonne.
A particularity not particularly pleasing in light of the overall level of “Toulouse” pétanque and the identity of the victims in the previous round of the next opponents of the Rouergat quartet. Even.
If Saint-Sernin-sur-Rance will go into the unknown at Miramont-de-Comminges in the lair of an interlocutor exempt from the first regional round, Monday also at 2:30 p.m., Firmi, and, Saturday, Rieupeyroux (from from 11 a.m.) and Olemps (at 2:30 p.m.), who will respectively host Toulouse Raphaël Parc, dominator without firing a shot against… Monteils, September 26, Pointis-de-Rivière, winner of Boé, and Aspet, winner of the other Lot -et-Garonnais d'Agen, are aware that to win, they will have to put themselves, literally and figuratively, on their… thirty-one. In short, put on their most beautiful outfit of light in order to get the most out of their means. Remembering that, last year at this same stage of the competition, two of the three Aveyron teams in the race had managed to qualify: Olemps at the expense of Castelsarrasin and Creissels at the expense of… Toulouse Raphaël Parc, while Rieupeyroux fell to best in Rabastens.
Great occasions
All this to say that to hope to have the same Rouergat contingent again in the 3rd regional round, on December 15, our representatives will have to “go to war” during this armistice weekend. But last year's performance of Creissels against Raphaël Parc, expected on Monday at the foot of Puy de Wolf, also insinuates the idea that Rieupeyrousains, Olempiens and Firminois will have a good card to play and above all no complexes to feed. The bold Ségalis, because we know they are capable of raising their level of play on big occasions as they proved in the fall of 2023 against the Abi Artistes; the dashing Ruthenian suburbs on the momentum of their thirty-second final of last season and their recent Aveyron Cup-departmental club championship double and the promising Foréziens in the straight line of their convincing journey so far (victories against Creissels and at Rieux-Volvestre).
So a survivor from Aveyron on Sunday evening? Two ? Three ? Four ? Make your bets!
