After a month and a half without a match, the Unionists had to start the year well with a victory against Ras Quercy Rugby, an opponent within their reach ranked in the penultimate place in the group and whom they had beaten 22 to 3 on the way out. Unfortunately, the green and black, whose bench of substitutes was only three players while opposite there were seven, left empty-handed from their journey to Lot. And yet, the score was only 12 to 12 at half-time, thanks to two tries scored by Emma Battistella Gaudieux and Anaïs Richaud-Garcia for a conversion by Oriane Courtois.
The courage and self-sacrifice of the Sapiacaines were not enough to turn the tide. Worse still, the latter leave without the slightest defensive bonus.
For this match, the team was as follows: Viiga; Fiche, Vidal, Hironde, Dalla Riva ; Kessler (o), Courtois (m) ; BattistellaGaudieux, Gasparotto (head), Nicole ; Blaquières, Mercier ; Fauviau, Castagné, Richaud-Garcia. Match tickets: Rouzies, Boukili, Thedil.
“We had defensive difficulties, without being able to materialize our highlights to hope for victory. Despite this, we provided ourselves with great phases of play with a united group who wanted to,” reacts captain Inés Gasparotto.
-Next Sunday, the Montalbanaises host the Meerkats. They will not be favorites but in a derby, everything remains possible. For their part, the Surricates will come to win after crushing the Stade Marivalois team 77 to 0.
