Hela Wigmen Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Rather than Monday nights, which again isn’t really a “sports night” in my psyche, I’d rather Elite 1 try and make more of what they have now. They’ve seen some good numbers tune in on YouTube this winter from the UK and rather than making people choose which game they watch, as multiple seem to kick-off at the same/similar times, I’d rather a bit of planning and a couple of games on consecutively, so that people can watch multiple games, should they wish. I know personally that I’ve had to make decisions over which games I watch when there’s a couple of decent games on. A couple of weeks ago was a prime example, Catalans A played Carcassonne was 1st v 3rd IIRC and I think there was also 2nd v 5th on at the same time, which I think was Avignon v Lezignan (IIRC). Ideally, I’d liked to have been able to watch both, instead I was forced into making a decision and plumed for Catalans A v Carcassonne, which was a good game.

ATLANTISMAN Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 We have looked at everything here and all agree that MONDAY nights is the way to go for a big match in terms of having a clear run v football getting the maires on board for promotion and various other factors. Last time round the crowds were very encouraging and I am certain it will work well again. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it is run by a gambling company trying to encourage you to bet on games but never got anything from them in last 18 or so months. Usually good for running scores during games as well as results.

langpark Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Yes, seems to be a catch up round. Btw there are three matches, not two. Limoux vs Villeneuve Palau vs Albi Carcassonne vs St Gaudens It is no coincidence that Toulouse and St Esteve are not playing, since some of their players will be playing in the Catalans vs Toulouse match.

barnyia Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Carcassonne been pushed out of stade domec for Sunday's game. The union teams fixture for last night was called off due to an opposing team player showing covid symptoms on the team bus. He tested negative so the game has been moved to Sunday and the league team moved to stade mazet. Reports in the paper today that the federation are pushing to restart elite 2,elite juniors and elite femin as soon as possible and asking for permission for teams to train after the 6pm curfew. The elite womens union and younger elite union teams are allowed. Also mid April restart for the lower divisions and kids sections. Finger crossed! I can't see it happening but no harm in trying!

audois Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 Limoux should be decent game tomorrow against Villeneuve/Lot. The Grizzlis were best last year before the comp was closed down with 14 wins out of sixteen. The next few weeks will be important for them. A rising Avignon at home next week and then the return game against Villenuve the week following up in Aquitaine.

audois Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 Good to see Toulouse channel viàOccitaine back up running this weekend Saturday. Limoux-Avignon the one to go for on the Sunday.The main runners though should all consolidate. All five games 14.00pm GMT starts and all of them covered.

audois Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 Olivier Janzac's first time in charge yesterday. As others say big catch for Villeneuve as their coach. He was mentioned to be going to the Dragons as an assistant to Steve McNamara a while back. He's been involved with the Federation for some time. When Limoux won back to back titles in 2016 and 2017 Janzac was in charge. With him at the helm you'd think the Aquitaine club maybe another side to be challenging come springtime. It would be good to see that in the same way as Avignon who also have come back into contention with late arrivals in Jouffret, Moran and Gigot. These clubs represent two regions west (Atlantic)and east (Mediterranean) Distance between the two towns 300 miles and 4h30 by bus. They help in some way streching the treize footprint across the south beyond the dog-leg that is the Perpignon - Aude-Toulouse corridor.

audois Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 Results this weekend Villeneuve/Lot 42-16 Albi Limoux 16-20 Avignon St Gaudens 20-40 St Esteve Carcassonne 46-16 Palau Toulouse Elite 12-40 Lezignan Saturday Villeneuve won comfortably in the end 12 -12 at the break though .Windy weather everywhere effected the games. Carcassonne behind at the break to Palau with the wind in their backs the Catalan minnows led with Hakim Miloudi to the fore. Basement St Gaudens made a game of it against the Baby Dracs. PNG power house Minga caused them lots of trouble only in the later stages did the young side pull away. TO Elite made a fist of it early on against FCL. Still work to do there for Seb Raguin. Game of the day was as expected. SOA reversed the 'aller round' at home to the Aude side. Nothing in betweem them. 19-0 early on for the Vaucluse side with a wind behind them. Only good defending late on kept the Grizzlis at bay.

ATLANTISMAN Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Thanks Gordon. Back over on Thursday week for a month,so will be meeting up to get things moving starting with this years Championship Final (Hopefully with a crowd) I am waiting to hear where it will be played. I have been scratching my head all week regarding the co-commentator for the English commentary next season and after watching the recording of the Broncos match yesterday I am going to ask Tony Rea tomorrow if he is up for it. Fingers crossed if we manage to even get him for a few games it will be great. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad news Barnyia I would assume that they will start the Elite 2 and below earlier than Elite 1 next season? I bet so many young players are just eager to get out there must be driving them mad.

barnyia Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Nothing new in the south except its 7pm curfew now. We follow the first team so we won't know when we start until the fédération decide. Elite 2 started in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
