While the Top 14 launches hostilities, the final phases of amateur rugby are coming to an end. Thus, Federal 1 has already delivered its verdict, when the last squares of the two lower divisions are known.
TOP 14. UBB. ”We have had the biggest audience in Europe for more than ten years, quite far ahead of the other teams”
Servette Genève champion of Fédérale 1
The challenge was great and a final remains a final. Faced with the Swiss, SA Mauléon was therefore keen to leave with his hands full. However, on the Agde side, the Basques did not resist and conceded a 9-28 defeat in the Federal 1 final. Servette Genève is crowned champion of the 2023-2024 season.
It’s a title that concludes 10 years of work. In 2014, the Geneva rugby club restructured and “started from scratch” to join the French championship. Launched in the last divisions, Servette will touch professionalism from next season. With the rise assured for several weeks, the title has also just fallen into their hands.
RUGBY. Immersion in the Geneva club, Servette, at the gates of the Nationale 2!
Federal 2 quarter-finals:
To reach the last four of Fédérale 2, the results were almost all relatively close. A neck and neck which was however not observed near L’Allier, where theUS Montmelianaise inflicted more than 40 points in an open match against CA Sarladais.
Between Lourdes and Gujan-Mestras, the battle was tough for a match which seemed historic for both teams. Facing the valiant Gironde club, Lourdes took advantage of two tries in five minutes to reverse the trend. Benjamin Laborde (48th) and Roch Aguerre (53rd) are the heroes of the day and allow the historic Pyrenees club to continue its crazy season.
Quarter-final scores:
- 4 Cantons 13-10 Nantua
- Sarlat la Caneda 28-41 Montmelian
- Gujan-Mestras 22-27 Lourdes
- Castillon The Battle 23-31 Grenade
