The Roquentins will have to work hard and achieve success in 2025 to achieve the objective at the start of the season.
Nine matches played, two victories on the clock for seven defeats, and three bonus points which make it eighth in the standings of this group 4 of Regional 2. This is the sporting record of the Union Sportive du Roquentin. Rather disappointing because the supporters of the “red and black” expected better from their protégés, thinking that the latter could aim for a place in the soft underbelly of the ranking.
President Laurent Verguin’s men suffered in the first two matches, competing with the opponent until the hour mark, then losing afterwards. A small defensive bonus against RC Bazeillais at home, and one gleaned away against their next opponent on January 12: Daglan.
Many regrets punctuated this difficult start to the championship with three games lost on the Delbes pitch. Encouraging defeats against Bazeille, but also other more worrying ones against Castelmoron and Miramont having both rejuvenated their squad, each time with a defensive bonus far too far away to hold on to.
A founding derby?
But in this R2 group, the teams – except perhaps those of the 4C XV (although their game is very pleasant) and Daglan – have raised their level of play and the gap with the other teams remains constant for the USR . However, during the nighttime derby at Le Passage, the “red and black” showed that they had progressed and that they could now play on an equal footing with the opponent.
We will therefore have to rid our heads of the syndrome of failure. What could be better than two receptions against teams with whom the Roquentins had played on par during the phase (Daglan and Saint-Aubin)? Nicolas Lestrade and Stéphane Moulinier’s guys seem to be up against the wall, it will almost be double or nothing if they want their guys to play “France”.
