[audois]

 

There's only two Elite 2 games on Sunday Baho (Perpignan)-Salon (Provence) & Villegailhenc (Carcassonne) - Entraigues (Provence). Full Elite 1 fixtures restart next weekend hopefully.

Local support around Stade Gilbert Brutus tomorrow in Perpignan for Dragons-TO

 We're back on track this weekend with four Elite 1 games with 3 being streamed. Big interest tomorrow with St Esteve hosting Limoux. 9 Dragons players in the group including De Costa, Julien, Romano, Seguier and Le Cam. The last two played against England in October. That game on Youtube KO local time 4.30pm. Limoux won the earlier game.

The other games are on Sunday with Carcassonne  having a game at last. First this year with Avignon as visitors 4pm start there with TO Elite 1-Albi earlier start KO 3pm - both these games are being streamed too. St Gaudens at home to leaders Lezignan will be difficult after their hammering against St Esteve last time out.

All good stuff Gordon.

I hope that the Dragons loan a few players to Toulouse as those players need game time in SL.

Good to see Romano back from that terrible injury. 

Shame Seguier didn’t end up going to Melbourne as was touted

[Whippet13]

St Esteve v Limoux 18-18 with 10 to go.

[Futtocks]

Catalans 20:18 Limoux, very close to the hooter.

And that's how it finished, despite plenty of pressure from the visitors in the final minutes. Good game.

Looked like Limoux got an easy penalty at the death, someone ran it and knocked on. Hard to tell as the camera was busy showing replays and missed it. A draw would have been a fair result.

[barnyia]

Yes that's what happened, the player who took the quick tap and dropped the ball walked off in tears!

Several player putting their hands up indicating go for the ‘2’ and then the camera went away from the action.  Next thing Esteve are playing the click down after a dropped ball by Limoux!

Limoux actually deserved at least a draw.  Esteve play a very reserved, no risk game which imo doesn’t suit them.

Other than Le Cam, there can’t be many 6 foot 10 inch centres in the game atm!

Yes Romano has done well to get back on the field after that bad leg injury. He did it at St Esteve playing for reserves very early on in 2021. The coaches have been impressed with his efforts to over come the injury.

Thought Seguier and Julien were OK yesterday. Late on Cozza raised his game too. Tiaka Chan also went well. He ran off the pitch quickly to the sheds for the half-time talk. It reminded me of his dad who always marched back to the goal line after a try had been scored.

Enjoyable game. The youngsters wanting to get the better of the older and more experienced Limoux team. The visitors lost their last two now - week before to Villeneuve - who are at St Esteve weekend next. The Grizzlis  Aussie full back Santo is a fine player too and Carcassonne are at there place next Sunday - should be another good'en too.

A bit of a sing along after the Carcassonne be Avignon game

Great stuff Alan!

[audois]

Watching with interest at Pia. Catalan region need a replacement for Palau in Elite 1. They had a crowd of 1800 recently too. A refurbished stadium and a great past.

Elite 2  Pia 70-8 Carpentras

National   Salses 92-0 Cavaillon/Caumont

Federal    St Laurent 42-20 Ille 2

Salses are the reserves of Pia and St Laurent the reserves of Salses

I think there is something about this joining-up lark  these days

 

Elsewhere

Elite 1 U19s

St Esteve 76-12 Limoux

Baho 6-78 Lezignan

TO 87-0 Albi

Carcassonne  26-30 Avignon

TO along with St Esteve as you would expect well ahead. Pleased to see Avignon result as they didn't have a team at the start of the season

The president's of Lézignan, Carcassonne and limoux got together last night for a chat about how they're running their clubs and the future, good to see the three clubs getting along, I'm looking forward to the limoux v carcassonne derby this Sunday and the carcassonne v  Lézignan return match the 26th or 27tg February.
