Amateur rugby – Federal 1: under the eyes of Florian Grill, L’Isle-Jourdain wins without forcing against Castelnaudary

Very smart who could have predicted such a score at the end of the game, especially considering the first half hour of play. Under the eyes of the president of the FFR, Florian Grill, the two teams in fact engaged in a duel of great intensity, especially in front, lasting half an hour.

Often put under pressure because of a superior opposing scrum, the Lislois kept their backs. They compensated with better conquest and impeccable defense. It was the Chauriens, on a penalty during a ground fault, who opened the scoring through their back Figeac in the 5th. A dozen minutes later, the same kicker did it again on a collapsed scrum.

Little by little, we feel that the Gersois are returning to the match with a little more time of possession and increasingly contesting the territorial domination of the visitors. In the 20th minute, Dany Faazen reduced the score with a penalty due to a visitor offside.

We feel something stirring in the Lapalu bays: the defense is holding up, and the ball is circulating well between the hands of the different Lisloise lines. The USL now offers a pleasant and airy game.

In the 26th minute, Dany Faazen plays the air girls in the Aude defense for the first Lislo try. And here we go for a pretty crazy last quarter of an hour. While the locals are outnumbered, Kylian Destarac, a pure product of the Lislois sector, who was making his debut in Fédérale 1, benefits from a kick to follow and follows the action, provokes the chance to grill the visiting defense with the cheek of youth in the 33rd for his first try.

Three minutes later, Redonnet took advantage of a surplus in the 22, and his “vista”, to, again, win for the third try of the USL. 22 to 6. From now on, serenity had returned to the Lislois camp, but at the same time as the demands of the experts which manifested themselves at the slightest messed-up local ball.

At the restart, Faazen’s penalty gives a logical 25 to 6 for the USL. Ten minutes later, Redonnet followed his kick behind the Aude defense, and controlled the vagaries of the ball for his second try.
In the 64th minute, regrouping under the ROC posts, the ball flies from hand to hand and the young Destarac, on his wing, uses his legs for his second try. 39 to 6 with the transformation of Faazen.

However, the ROC has not given up. Taking advantage of the new numerical inferiority of the Gersois pack, the Aude pack sends its n°4, Laurica, to a deserved try, 39 to 11. Faazen’s penalty will give a nice final score of 42 to 11. A beautiful Sunday on the edges of Save especially since the Espoirs also won, 37 to 13.
