Whether among professionals and now among young people, the Union Bordeaux-Bègles and the SU Agen really do not evolve in the same championship.

If, at the beginning of the season, the boys of the Guiard-Campan-Garcia trio aimed at something other than vegetating at the bottom of their Help hen, they had to resolve to look at the top of the classification from afar. First places precisely trussed by the weekend opponents, from Girondins well hung on the podium and on the way to the final phases of the elite of the young class.

Until Rouen

So, all the interest of traveling in Beglaise lands, this Saturday (3 p.m.), perhaps lies in the preparation of the coming, a week later, of Rouen and the challenge that there remains for young Agenais, namely to finish as far as possible from the last place. “We are ambitious but lucid, immediately poses the manager Julien Guiard who, if he will no longer be the strong man of the hopes next season (see box), obviously does not hear his arms. It is up to us to play with our forces, our cohesion failing our competitiveness, to be painful to play and to have the ambition to move them. »»

With masterpieces requisitioned by the professional group (Cummins, Jean, Cazemajou), the Lot-et-Garonnais group gives way to a few amounts (Lalbat and Gayral) who will be called to take over next season.
