The start of the Carcassonnais game this Friday evening was very complicated against the Périgourdins. If they finally won 14-12, at half-time, the “yellow and black” were losing 7-9.
However, we cannot say that in Carcassonne, this Friday, November 1, it was bitterly cold capable of freezing, freezing or even paralyzing the men of coaches Aué and Escribano. However, this is the overall impression that emerged from the Domec lawn. The Carcassonnais were ghostly at the start of the game.

To illustrate this feeling, everything began with a charge from Hoareau, for Périgueux, on Carbou who, arriving without speed, let the leather escape. In the 3rd minute, the “yellow and black” attacked in a very good way, but the ball once again went forward… Neisen recovered to find the arms of Chailes.
Nothing serious, for the moment. However, the situation quickly deteriorated as USC captain Etienne Herhean was given a yellow card for anti-play. It is true that during these first 40 minutes, the Carcassonnais, as soon as they found themselves in possession of the ball, were very often penalized.
Gabin Michet inhibited?
And Anderson Neisen's foot hit the mark almost every time: 9 points in the first period. Full box. An insolent success which clearly inhibited Gabin Michet – the local scorer – who in the 14th minute completely missed 15 meters in front of the post.
It will take more than 25 minutes for the Audois to finally get their heads above water thanks to the try of hooker Carbou. But it still wasn't quite that. We felt the Périgourdins were confident. Not imperial but comfortable. Unlike Carcassonne, which is rather apathetic. And undisciplined on a few occasions. Confers the end of the first half and this new penalty offered to Neisen who in the end would miss the 48 meter target.
The “yellow and black” will have to resolve the problem of their sluggish start in the future to hope to finish the season in the firmament of this National championship.
