the essential
Under an autumnal sky, the Gers regionals began their Occitan campaign this weekend of September 21 and 22. A mixed start punctuated by seven victories, three draws and six defeats. Retrospective.
Regional 1. Lectoure offensive
Lectoure improved its home debut by beating Maubourguet 43-30. The promoted Bassoues LM mastered Saint-Gaudens in fine style 32-19. A tight match between Vic-Fezensac and Pouyastruc (19-12), but a precious victory for Vic. Finally, Condom had to share the points (20-20) against ESCA Luc.

Regional 2. Eauze improves
Of the four musketeers in group 5, only Eauze brilliantly pulled off a masterclass. The Elusates improved their return by soundly beating Hers-Lauragais 41-17. A promising result for the Armagnacais.
At home, the promoted Masseube XV unfortunately had to lower the flag against the relegated Val XV (Montesquieu), 9 – 15. Also defeated for Montreal against the Garonnais of Labarthe-sur-Lèze, 13-27. In Carbonne, RC Lomagne stumbled heavily 39-13 against the Carbonne/Longages coalition.

In group 6, Plaisance resisted but ultimately conceded a 3-23 defeat, with the Pyrenees pocketing the offensive bonus. Ovalie Villecomtal-Rabastens did not play against Saint-Lary due to the marriage of a manager on the Pyrenees side. Match postponed to Sunday, October 13.
Next Sunday: Auterive – Eauze, Hers-Lauragais – Montreal, Masseube XV – RC Lomagne, Plaisance – Aureilhan. Exempt: Ovalie Villecomtal-Rabastens.
Regional 3. Marciac, Panjas and Montestruc in good form
Of the six Gersois in this group 6, Marciac clearly beat Castelnau-Madiran on its grass 41-23, taking the offensive bonus. For its part, Panjas also went to pick up a bonus victory at Rabastens XV, 24-4. At the Vieux chêne, Montestruc did not miss its return, dominating the returning VVAL’Isle-de-Noé XV 39-22, in a match with 8 tries, without a bonus for MGR.

Gondrin, on his home turf, had to share the points (28-28) when receiving Laloubère, just like Bas-Armagnac against Bazet/Andrest (23-23). However, the draws were encouraging for Gondrinois and Armagnacais against Bigourdans who could be seen among the favourites.
Next Sunday: Bazet/Andrest – Montestruc, VVAL’XV – Gondrin, Panjas – Castelnau-Madiran, Bas-Armagnac RC – Marciac.
