the essential
There was suspense at the Jo-Carabignac stadium. We had to wait for the final penalty for this meeting to know its winner.
This derby will have kept all its promises, with suspense that will have lasted until the end. The Avenir Moissagais players did not take long to enter the match by opening the scoring on a penalty in the 4th minute of play by local scorer Lopez. The Moissagais then got their hands on the ball, and took advantage of the many faults of the Montéchois who, as a result, armed the foot of Lopez who, with two additional penalties, brought the score to 9 to 0. The Coquelicots Montéchois had difficulty to free themselves from the grip of Captain Fallouk's men, and must bow again before the half-time whistle, with an overflow try from Chazelas, which will not be transformed. At the restart, Captain Porte's men regained momentum, the two coaches having given their instructions.
words
Benoît Mothes (Moissac coach): “A big first half, some great possessions, but we had a slump in the second half, with a lot of mistakes. With a scorer like Bénac opposite, that's unforgiving. Congratulations to the players for this victory. »
Stéphane Soulès (Montech coach): “Too many mistakes in the first half, fortunately the second was better. Too bad this penalty during stoppage time, but we proved that we had to count on Montech again this season. »
Collected by J.-C. S.
The young Fasan, well served by Crespo, goes under the posts to score a try which the Montéchois striker, Bénac (46th), converts. The latter will reduce the score immediately, with a first penalty (17 to 10). After these two penalties on each side, the margin remains at 7 points. Two new penalties from Lopez, and from Bénac, will bring the score to 20 to 13, but that was without counting on a great Montéchoise action ending with Balmes who, served inside, scores a new try for the Montéchois, transformed by Benac. We are heading towards a sharing of points when a new mistake from Montech allows Bringay to score the penalty to win the match, the visitors being content with the defensive bonus. Note the great spirit that reigned throughout the meeting.
