By winning against Arcachon, Chartres holds its benchmark match

During the first day, in September, the Chartrains had returned slaughtered from Arcachon. But this match had to be replayed because the Girondins had evolved to 16 against 15 for ten minutes. And for this last meeting, before the holidays, the Chartrains gave themselves a nice Christmas present by winning 16 to 10.
From the outset, the Girondins came up against a fierce defense in Chartres which hurt them very quickly since, very quickly, they lost, through injury, their scrum-half Geneste then the 2nd line Bartoszek. Despite these twists of fate, RC Bassin d’Arcachon was the most enterprising but its domination remained sterile. And at the half-hour mark, it was Chartres who passed in front. The hooker Alamartine tore away, resisted three tackles to score at the foot of the posts. The test was transformed (0-7, 29 ‘). The RCBA affected, will not recover, the second period will confirm the physical superiority of Chartres. The CCR continued its work of undermining, dominated in the contacts, won the battle of the rucks and its melee put the local pack to death. Although badly handled, Arcachon managed to come back by Ayuso going to lady (7-7, 48 ‘). But Gironde supporters would quickly understand that the afternoon would be complicated. Instead of taking the points, the locals strove to play fast or to go into touch. In vain. The Chartrains dominated physically and Aboumejd gave CCR three points (7-10, 56 ‘). The hope of repeating the success of the 1st day flew to Arcachon. The CCR held its prey and will not let go, even adding six points by the foot of Aboumejd (10-16). Chartres finally held its benchmark match.
