L‘US ASPOISE experience was right for a young training in Saint-Martin-de-Seignanx, this Sunday in the R2 final in Orthez (8-18). Saint-Martinois who quickly found themselves on the decline and penalized in the mauls: Bedous turned to the lead at halftime (3-9), then dug the gap (3-12). The Landais hung on, the pack was pounding the line and Dauthier Daguerre scored the first and only test of the game (8-12).
Pushed to the fault, Saint-Martin-de-Seignanx was sanctioned with three boxes. But even reduced to 12 and dominated on the impacts, the ASSM was intractable in defense and managed to preserve its in-goal. This will not be enough to counter a US ASPOISE which has gradually dug the difference on penalties thanks to the precision of Peyroutou.
“This void passage in the second period hurt us,” admits Captain Baptiste Comets. It leaves a taste of unfinished. It’s a little frustrating to lose without taking a try … We may be too stubborn to play from our camp, to always send the game. The group is young and still in apprenticeship, but he managed to honor the jersey and the club. “We have failed to unbalance and move this team in place, recognizes his coach Vincent Darrieumerlou. But what interests us is the continuation! And the rest is the French championship that will start on May 18 …

Marsacq XV was not far away
On this same field Henri-Cazenave d’Orthez, a little later in the afternoon, Saint-Jean-de-Marsacq had a similar way out and saw the regional promotion shield 1 pass under the nose against Ustaritz-Jatxou (25-21). The Saint-Jeannais nevertheless led 3-9 at halftime, before cracking in the second half against the Basques.
Parentis-en-Born, in regional promotion 3, therefore remains the only Landes team to have raised a regional shield this season.
Federal hopes
