After a round of applause in memory of Lilian Abadie, Tournay player, the two teams immediately got to the heart of the matter. If the people of Maubourg have climbed the first step of the score on a penalty goal from Dantin (12th), the ESCA / Tournay agreement will work hard on two well-constructed tries.
First with Rodenmacher at the end of the efforts of his pack of forwards (15th), then Lebarbier overflowing on his wing (20th). Brivot’s try at the exit of a penal touch (34th) will allow Maubourguet to fill the score before the break.
In the second half, Eric Dantin’s proteges will go queen with Dastugue in the heart of the fray (60th), Dantin in support of his forwards (60th), Castro Ferreira on a fake pass (64th).

Except that on the last action of the meeting, the back of the agreement will offer a run to behind the try line (70th). ESCA / Tournay will lift the trophy, Maubourguet consoling her in this final where the dilemma would have deserved to designate two winners. But…
