This fifth victory of the season is not the most anticipated for Stade Belvésois. But it will do a lot of good for the morale of the Boars. Sunday January 12, they managed to inflict their third defeat of the season on Cahors, thereby moving up to 7th place in the group, three points ahead of the relegation zone.
Enough to breathe a little better even if the road to maintenance is still long. The red and white took this match in the right direction thanks to their domination in the scrum. They are pressing on this sector to settle in the Lotois camp.
And while the Cadurcian scorer misses his first two attempts, Jules Baille opens the scoring for the Belvésois (3-0, 17th). The defenses are in place and attempts are likely to be rare. In this first period, Cahors struggled to put its game in place in the face of resistance from the men on the board.
The turning point came at the end of the first period. The red and white get a touch in the visitors’ 22 meters. The alignment captures the ball and organizes itself into a penetrating maul until Odin Fongauffier can flatten it (10-0, 36th).
Cahors is getting closer
When the team resumed, the leaders were more dynamic and the half-time speech bore fruit. From the outset, Arteil breaks through the defense and is caught 30 meters from the Belves goal. Cahors is at a different pace, realizing that victory is far from being achieved. Aboumejd Le Berre adds three points (10-6, 45th) and his teammates have several other opportunities to score. In vain due to lack of patience. Lot’s domination was sterile for a long time (10-9, 59th).
At the end of the match, a new penalty benefited the Belvésois. As the maul approaches the line, Cahors makes a mistake and the referee goes between the posts for the penalty try (17-9, 76th). The danger is over, the Lotois being content with the defensive bonus point. Belvès reassures himself before facing Arpajon and Malemort, two direct competitors.
