Five-a-side rugby is well established within the MCS, with an interesting number of licensees, who meet every Thursday evening at the Stade de Bouque de Lens, to follow training in order to prepare for the scheduled meetings.
Argelès-Gazost tournament
Like last season, the “reds and blacks” of the Salat Valley went on April 27 and 28 to Argelès-Gazost for the largest five-a-side rugby tournament in France, where eighty-eight teams spread over four categories were engaged. The “Mac Five”, with fifteen players present, participated in the over 35 category. By winning three out of six matches, they finished in the top half of the standings (11th out of 28). A satisfactory result.
Monthly meetings
Since February, departmental meetings “5 sur son 31” have been organized, the “Mac Five” went to Labarthe/Lèze in February, to Cugnaux in March, did not play in April. Last Thursday they received at Bouque de Lens.
Four teams were present, one from Labarthe/Lèze, one from Montastruc-la-Conseillère and two from MCS.
