Second lifting of this famous “Avants calendar”, with the arrival of a completely new club for the ESG: the Béarnais of US Coarraze-Nay (64). However, two characters on the bench who are far from being unknown: Pierre Chadebech, colorful “Pierre Perret” of national rugby, and fan of the total game (but also of the plum handstand) and Fabrice Grec, former second row from Lourdes, of which the Gimontois remember a terrible opposition against the US Argelès-Gazost (65).
A lot of water has flowed under the bridge and today’s visitors are firmly anchored at this high amateur level, with a flattering reputation for high volume of play. Moreover, they were only eliminated last year after two very great performances against the future promoted Lourdes. Intractable at home, the Nayais (8th, 23 pts) have more difficulty exporting, with a success in Morlaàs, all the same. They even remain on a small spanking received in Lomagne.

Last Sunday’s meeting having been postponed, they will be fresh and motivated for their visit to the Gers, and certainly not for the last Christmas shopping, at the Sunday market, from early morning.
Remobilize, again and again
In Gimont, morale is high, and all the lights are green: a superb Espoirs team, a leading group which is living well, interchangeable, and well within the expected transition times.

Setting the table again, before the holidays, will be Sunday’s challenge. Paul Zucchetti, suspended, will be able to take a breather from the start of the season where he was in all the fights; in the cage, Clément Monferran, the chef’s surprise last Sunday, and Teddy Laval ensured and brilliantly assumed the legacy. And one truth, implacable: a four-point match, just like last Sunday. No more, no less. It’s up to Gimontois to have the same hunger, for the same end.
