A second classic match was also played this Sunday, but in Limoux. Saint-Estève XIII Catalan traveled to the “Blanquetiers” for this second day of Super XIII. At the end of a difficult match, the teams had to decide at the golden point where Limoux had the last word! Final score 37 to 36.
Picked cold, the Catalans concede their first try in the 2nd minute. Limouxin captain, Valentin Yesa receives a yellow card and leaves his teammates at 12. Seguela takes advantage and puts the scorers back at 6 everywhere. The Grizzlies then take control of the match, and the Catalans appear undisciplined. Matis Dall’Asta, author of a flawless foot, added two penalties before Castany offered a caviar to Aispuro-Bichet on a winning interval (16-12). The locals will increase the score through Yann Belmaaziz well served by Ford and Matis Dall’Asta passes another penalty (24-12).
After the break, the Catalans got back into the lead through Seguela and Rey (24-22). Crunel, XXL this Sunday, achieves the hat-trick and gives his team some air 36-22 with a quarter of an hour to go. It won’t happen. Seguela scored his hat-trick and Corentin Rey scored his double for Saint-Estève to get back to 36-34. On the horn, Devoyon passes the last penalty of the match which leaves room for overtime. 36-36.
Two minutes will have been enough to decide between the teams. The work of the Limoux forwards allowed “Jono” Ford to secure the victory (37-36).
