Overwhelmed by the visiting hurricane, the Anglo-biarroti were unable to contain their opponents in these first ten minutes equivalent to a nightmare. We had to wait more than 20 minutes to see the first save of the local goalkeeper, Aimadina Lempereur of Saint-Pierre (6-12, 21st). However, Nicolas Lannes’ players tried to fight back and managed to close the gap (9-13, 23rd). Alas, the hope was short-lived. The numerous local ball losses were punished by the guests in the leg and in the greatest success.
All hope shattered
At halftime the Basque deficit had already risen to eight units (11-19). However, viewers of Saint-Jean, alas, had not yet seen everything. Because Olivier Bouquin’s players started the second act almost similarly to the first. In ten minutes, they beat their opponents ABOHB 2-7 destroying any hope of a comeback (13-26, 40th).
