the essential
For Saint-Aubin, it is the time to confirm the good performance of last weekend by hosting the Laroque-Timbaut team, in difficulty at the start of the championship.
The Sporting Club Saint-Aubinois regained color last Sunday by overcoming the Dordogne team of Daglan, always difficult to maneuver on their lawn. A Saint-Aubin victory perfectly acquired during a one-sided start to the match, well started by the guys from Paloque. The latter led 16-3 at the middle break.
Desire, combat, realism, everything came together to make a brilliant start to the match against an opponent stifled by the intensity put in by Léger Maury and his teammates. Logically, by putting their noses to the window, the Daglanais team, in front of their audience, had to react in the second half. Without, however, worrying the troops of President Laurent Limes, who defended with mastery. The latter rejected the sporadic reactions of their adversaries. An immense joy invaded the Saint-Aubinois camp at the final whistle. It was the first positive result for the boys from Paloque in four matches and they had to win to erase the setbacks at the start of the championship when Sporting faced the big players in the group. They are therefore launched towards an upward slope and the reception of the Laroque formation should allow the “rouge et noir” to take a new step.
Saint-Aubin must confirm its success at Daglan
The Roquentins, in difficulty for several Sundays (three defeats against Daglan, Sainte-Bazeille and Castelmoron) will be keen to revive themselves during this Lot-et-Garonnais derby. Saint Aubinois, watch out for an injured team which will play without pressure against Haut-Agenais who are perhaps too confident before entering the match. Sporting must repeat the performance of the last weekend by starting the game with a bang. Gradually, the Saint-Aubinoise infirmary is emptying. The returns of Vaccari, Pages, and even Albanhac, will allow Gilles Cornut, who will be absent, to present an almost complete squad. During the last three meetings of the two teams, Saint-Aubin had fallen to Passage (48-14), just like Laroque against Sainte-Bazeille (15-22) on September 29. The following week, Saint-Aubin lost against Sainte-Bazeille (17-26), like Laroque in Daglan (24-20). Finally, last week, Saint-Aubin brought back a valuable success from Daglan (16-22), while Laroque lost to Castelmoron (8-22). Match Sunday at 3:30 p.m., “B” at 2 p.m.
