Rachid Ezzamzani’s protégés pushed the Bourian ogre to its limits. In vain…
The staff review carried out in these same columns (read our edition of Wednesday December 11) was, unfortunately, three times unfortunately, representative of the active forces. All the “big guns” from Gourdon were present last Sunday to block the path of a valiant and talented team from Magnanac.

Some thought that two phenomena such as “Bambi” Schmitt and Kenny Champigneul would collect the three points. It didn’t happen, Leman and Foulhac unceremoniously jostling the favorites: 13-5.
