He found himself sincerely surrounded, RC Saint-Cernin (Cantal)… Surrounded by a solid and serious OC Montluçon (Allier), if not brilliant. Enough to win (19-6) at home at the La Loue stadium, this Sunday November 13th. And to bring down the Cantal club from the chair of leaders of group 16 of Federal 3, at the end of this seventh day of the championship.
The first half
However, it was the visitors who stamped their feet first, with a penalty from Dayral (0-3, 5th). Unlike the local players, clearly in check this Sunday, with nineteen points left in total, including three missed penalties in the first period (11th, 13th, 33rd). Enough to go to the locker room to be led.
The situation was maddening for the Montluçonnais. Because without being exceptional, and despite the failures in the conquests, they have nevertheless proved to be enterprising. More than the Dorians, apathetic leaders, who broke their noses and teeth on the Bourbons, a rough and biting defence.
The second half
The hard work finally paid off. The Cantalous multiplied the fouls, the OCM took advantage of it. First thanks to Capdeville’s boot (3-3, 42nd). Then, in superiority (yellow card for Tedo at Saint-Cernin), Forichon scored a cheating try on a carried ball, immediately playing for a penalty (8-3, 45th). Capdeville didn’t convert, but added three points shortly after (11-3, 56th).
Mongil answered him blow by blow (11-6, 58th), letting his do his own… Luckily, this time Arbona signed a penalty from forty meters (14-6, 78th), then above all a second try, always in superiority (yellow in Ferluc), killed the suspense. Trial planted on the wing by Xavier, following a beautiful slalom by A. Depoux (19-6, 80°+2). In the classification of the hen, Montluçon climbs back to fifth place (5th on a par, 18 points), while Saint-Cernin loses the throne (2nd, 24 points).
