the essentials Federal 2 – 21st day. The Audois had to be strong once morest the Catalan neighbors of Prades, and it was done. Sporting Leucate remains in Federal 2 thanks to this success.
Curious the choice made by the Catalans of Prades to take the sea wind at their backs for the start of the match even though they had won the toss. Certainly, Courty takes a penalty from 35 meters (0-3, 5th) to which his counterpart Florian Sourès (3-3, 6th) immediately responds, but the footwork of the mountaineers is almost non-existent in the first period. On only three occasions, they will use it and put in great difficulty the last Aude curtain which moreover concedes on one of them a scrum at 5 meters on which the Catalans play excellently a closed side which sends the winger Pilon in the maritime goal (3-8, 22nd).
But captain Pierre Pineda’s men are in good shape, putting pressure on their opponents, particularly in duels, and taking advantage of the mistakes caused by this constant pressure. Prades committed more than 20 fouls, including three with cards (two yellows and one white) compared to seven for the Audois. Sourès reduces the gap (6-8, 40th).
Then, with a tailwind from the start of the second half, he allowed his team to finally take the score (9-8, 41st).
Indiscipline catalane
Not for long since on the return, the Maritimes find themselves in the air and the other winger, Lapierre, recovers the ball and goes to score at the end of the line. The peanut test by definition. Jnaoui then received a second card, a blank one, and Sourès once once more reduced the gap on the scoreboard (12-15, 51st).
This is when the turning point of the match comes. Prades is on a high, sends play and commits a forward under the Aude posts. Périset plays his ball far away and Kobauri’s speed comes back to the last defender who can only lie on him. Penalty try (52nd) and yellow card as a result. The double sanction falls. Sourès added three points an hour into the game (22-15, 59th).
There are 10 minutes left to play and the Catalans invade the 22 maritime meters. Penaltouches, scrums followed one another for five long minutes without Leucate giving up an inch of ground, and the Audois ended up clearing without avoiding taking a white card for Garrido. Without consequence, Prades made another mistake three times, thus facilitating the nevertheless deserved victory of Sporting (52 points) which took advantage of the defeat of the Canton of Alban (46 points) to remain in Federal 2 one day behind. the end of the regular phase with six points ahead of the first relegated club.
