Reference match for LSA!

Ah, well, they make us happy.“The sentence is innocuous. It comes down from the stand of the Gaston-Pialat stadium in Réquista yesterday, during the break, when the Ségalis had only done half the work. But it is above all revealing of what happened namely a perfect management of the clash of extremes by the now ex-relegated Aveyron players against Bugue who presented himself as an undefeated leader. A first act to take wonderful advantage of a wild team, then an impeccable second period. in the defense of the acquired advantage. Great art, as seen for a long time among the yellow and green.

“We had prepared for the week with a lot of ambitions in the game, because we knew it was a solid team up front, with a big scorer. We knew we had to move them and add volume. We did it well, especially in the first half with the windwill analyze Captain Antonin Regourd afterwards. We scored on our high points, even if it's a shame we didn't take off more before half-time. “Indeed, if the young fullback Mercadier perfectly mastered the strong wind on his five penalty attempts (four in the first played with the zef), the yellow and green showed strong territorial domination; even twice going as far as at the goal, but without scoring a try thanks to the strong defense of the Dordognots.

White and blue who had withdrawn from team B and whose powerful pack found support along the way. Reluctant to press: “ I am very happy with the team in the second half, against the wind. Today we showed our true colors. Of self-sacrifice, of valor, of solidarity. Clearly, we suffered second; It wasn't easy, but despite everything, we only took three points even though we scored as many. “At the cost of significant effort. Like the gift of his body for science by winger Vervialle in a sacrificial defensive gesture which earned him a blue card when the planchot was beyond the 80th minute. Or even a reduction of the team to 14 (like the rest of Bugue), and even a time at twelve (!), when the fight for the ball turned into a general brawl just after the break.

Not an ad for rugby, some would say. But enough to display its character, to show that this corner of Aveyron was still in Federal 2 not so long ago. And despite a difficult start to the season, he does not intend to leave the federal fold. It is also certain that the party on the pitch continued quite late into the evening on the Ségala. These guys deserved it. It is now up to them to show that it was not just a clearing in a heavy sky, but that the wind yesterday brought a much clearer horizon.
