From one extreme to another: after the emotions of the Garonne Cup final, the players of the UO Pamiers will make their return to the championship in the silence of the camera against. Cornebarrieu.
UO Pamiers (3rd; 15V-4D)-Abb Cornebarrieu II (8th; 7V-12D); Sunday, at 3.30 p.m., Paulin-Palmade room- La Rijole, in Pamiers (behind closed doors) .- The discrepancy promises to be brutal. After the noise, the fury and the adrenaline of the Garonne Cup final, lost in front of their western Toulouse rivals in front of almost a thousand spectators massaged in the heat of the Toulouse Léo-Lagrange complex, the Appaméennes will once again experiment an impressive decompression level. After the excitement of last weekend, the Ariégeoises will live a very monacal Sunday. In addition to having to re-mobilize for a championship of which they have much more to play than the places of honor, the yellow and black will receive the Cornebarrieu reserve in a silence of cathedral since theirs, the rijole, will remain closed doors.
The fault of the fiery supporters of the UOP who a little too ostensibly demonstrated their disagreement with the refereeing body during the first leg in the Toulouse suburbs. The disciplinary committee decided to punish the UOP in the closed -door match for the return meeting. Sanction which, in comparison with certain atmospheres encountered in other inhospitable regions, can lend to smile.
The podium as a goal
Fortunately, from a purely sporting point of view, the Appaméennes may not need the support of their supporters, even if they would certainly have wished to commune with them one last time (Pamiers will move during the last two days). Beaten by nothing on the ground of the West Toulouse less than three weeks ago, as part of the championship this time, the players of Elisabeth Tricals definitely said goodbye to their dreams of accession to the prenational. Nevertheless, the Appaméennes would like to finish at least on the podium. For this, it will most certainly have to finish the championship as they started the calendar year: with victories. Cornebarrieu linings should not be the harshest opposition, especially since the protégés de la Rijole will want to erase the back of the first leg, which will have cost them many points of view. The Haut-Garonnaises have the maintenance in their pockets and have been slowing down for several weeks (only two victories in 2025) but distrust and seriously will obviously be of rigor to reconnect with success after the two failures against the OTB.
