It had to happen. For the last match of the first leg, Le Bugue suffered its first defeat of the season, at Levezou Ségala, relegated before kick-off.
The locals perfectly managed this clash of extremes, facing Bugue who presented himself as an undefeated leader. RCB made too many mistakes, giving points to the Aveyronnais.
Levezou Ségala scored on his highlights. The full-back Mercadier perfectly controlled the strong wind on his five penalty attempts, the yellow and green showed strong territorial domination; even going as far as the goal twice, but without scoring a try thanks to the strong defense of the Buguois.
The white and blue pack found a response along its route. Like winger Vervialle, in a defensive gesture that earned him a blue card when the score was past the 80th minute. Or even during a reduction of the team to 14 (like the Bugue for the rest), and even a time at 12, when the fight for the ball turned into a general brawl just after the break. On the Bugue side, Peyrat immediately returned to the locker room…
Levezou Ségala showed his character, and on the Périgord side, Muller (11th) and Vasquez (40th, 49th) found the target well, but it was insufficient to get in front.
