A beautiful Saturday at the Clauzades stadium for the ASV young people after the morning UMT tournament for the U12 and U14. The cadets and juniors won brilliantly in the afternoon.
U 16 in regional. Lavaur 33-Mazamet 24. Great victory for the cadets which puts them back in 3rd place in the group. Next match on Saturday December 7 in Graulhet.
U 18 National. Lavaur 27 – Ras Coeur Toulouse. 24. Exploit of the ASV juniors who hosted their Toulouse counterparts, undefeated leaders and very clear winners in the first leg. The start of the match is for the visitors, on their first 2 forays into the Vauréen camp, they score with 2 tries against a single penalty for the locals. 12 to 3 before seeing the Vauréens jostle the Toulouse residents with great desire. On a very well executed hand penalty, Guichard Mas scores and puts Lavaur back in the match. The Hauts-Garonnais quickly managed to widen the gap but Lavaur did not give up, pounding the opposing line several times close to making it happen. But the Toulouse players scratch a ball and go on the counterattack to score 90 m further. The break is whistled with a score of 10 to 24, rather harsh for the locals.
Overwhelmed Toulouse residents
The second half will be largely dominated by the Tarnais who gradually come back from Chabbal's penalties, taking advantage of the visitors' indiscipline. The latter get annoyed and receive 2 red cards for excessive aggressiveness. Lavaur comes back to 2 points and pushes again. In a huge atmosphere, the Toulouse residents are overwhelmed and Garnier scores in the corner. Toulouse tries to come back in the last 5 minutes but Lavaur, heroic in defense, manages to maintain his 3 point lead. The work of Rémi Castan's staff has paid off and promises great things for the future. The senior teams were rested last week before this crucial week and the reception of Castelnaudary on Sunday December 1st. The XV of Jacquemart will play in front of its audience, a match described as survival between the 2 teams at the bottom of the ranking. A new defeat would be a bad omen for remaining in federal 1.
