The two teams lined up on the sidelines, little Jayden, the son of the late right pillar, in the arms of Simon Aboumejd Le Berre, the referees in the center and the leaders of C’Chartres Rugby in the extension of this long span.

The meeting against Limoges could not begin without this moment of meditation rich in emotions and without a minute of silence in honor of James Théodore, CCR player who died suddenly at the age of 22, on March 1, in training.
Then, place to the game, place at 80 minutes of a funny match during which the two formations had different objectives.

No big flights
Honor to the visitors who, despite the circumstances, managed to hold their own by capitalizing on four points thanks mainly to the accuracy of their back scorer Pedro Soto. The Limougeaud n°15 opened the scoring after a quarter of an hour after a traditional round of observation.
Chartres wasted no time in equalizing, also on penalty, signed Aboumejd Le Berre. But the XV Beauceron was struggling. He had to do without Massyn, injured in the calf in the warm-up, and quite quickly in the part of his captain Snyman who complained of the thigh.

Faced with enterprising Limougeauds, the locals often made mistakes in their own camp, within kicking range of Soto (3-6, 21′). The Chartrains remobilized and concluded a highlight with the only try of the meeting, the work of Leclerc.
The rear of the Blues was at the conclusion of a lateral development, a good sequence after a lot of work from the forwards on the opposite side. The conversion was a mere formality and Chartres took the lead (10-6, 33′). Limoges came back within range before going through the locker room (10-9).
In the second period, the spectators did not have much to eat, the game was choppy, rough. The men of Adrien Buononato, the Limousin coach, took advantage of the little through Chartres. Twice, the referee awarded penalties to visitors that Soto adjusted without difficulty (10-15).
