Lezignan discipline was atrocious. When they played rugby, looked like they could win, especially scoring when it was 13 v 11 but threw it away by their actions.

My thoughts exactly

Apparently, both matches will be shown on Albi TV - https://www.albi-tv.fr - another of those local stations like Via Occitanie. They also have a YouTube channel, but I don't know if the matches will be shown live on that: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ZvpzQYDYXsD5rPDsmK1Jg 

4pm and 6pm kick-offs.

Carcassonne were the last winners of the Cup in 2019 beating St Esteve - the 3 years stopped by Covid. The only year was in 1981 when both of these same team were stopped at the Championship the week earlier. To complete the story these same teams again were starting it up  after the 2nd World War 1945 when St Esteve won  28-16 Carcassonne

Great final and 2 excellent teams saw Albi at St Esteve a few weeks ago they played some really nice football.

I imagine, Paul, that any team with Tony Gigot and Hakim Miloudi in their ranks are almost certainly worth watching, if only for their likely unpredictability!

Tony Gigot and Morgan Escare will be linking  up at the Gilbert Brutus ground having played for the Dragons in earlier times 

Albi will also have their U17s on the same day joining up with the Catalan side of Baho too

The Tarn side last played in the Lord Derby Cup Final 15 yrs ago

One of the best things that has happenend this year is the rise of Albi along with the return of Pia. We've had a bit too much of the Aude 3 sides - the Elite 1 is opening up a bit

The municipal Stadium in Albi yesterday had few takers early afternoon with Caracassonne -Avignon but by evening one of the stands was nearly full from the locals. Encouraging

Coming to Gilbert Brutus for the game two years since the Lord Derby Cup is a winner this Saturday. For a start having two former  Dragons players of note in Gigot and Esccare on opposite sides.

The entry is free for all 13 year olds and entries for all Dragons ticket holders. The restaurant too will be open from midday till 3pm. The first start with U15s Catalan-Salon at 11.30am, followed by U17s Albi-Baho (Perpignan) at 1pm and then U19s Carcassonne-Toulouse at 3pm before the Elite 1 Final at 5.15pm which will be 'streamed' by the Toulouse television station ViàOccitanie.

The Carcassonne coach Fred Camel saw his side have an easy run-out last last weekend at Villeneuve (0-42) while Albi took on Lezignan in a tough match (24-14). Camel is expecting a Cup Final after the home leagues games went even. He will expect a very hard game. He said the Tarn side have developed into a professional outfit,"very good for our game".

As someone without access to Via Occitanie, does anyone know if this will be broadcast online? 4pm Saturday would be a great time to sit down with a couple of bevvies and watch the French cup final. 

You could try here... https://viaoccitanie.tv/ 

I'm trying to see if they have a schedule.

Via Occitanie seem to stream everything they broadcast live simultaneously on their website (see @kiggy 's link above).

All of the RL matches they've shown over the last few years have been available in the UK through the website.

Hold that coach!!! Final u19s cancelled as the semi final Lézignan v Toulouse is going to be replayed due to some silly rules of u19s playing too many first team games and not being allowed to play in cup games or the federation getting their own rules wrong!!! Or something like that. They may play the semi at Brutus so the big losers are the carcassonne u19s! So maybe the coaches don't need to be cancelled, only in France!!! 

These people are supposed to be organising 4 different world cups in 2025!!!
