Football punctuated your sports weekend in Périgord, with the 3rd day of National 2 and the mixed fortunes of Bergerac and Trélissac, with many derbies in the Coupe de France and a return to school for women in the Coupe de France.
First failure of Trélissac Football Club in National 2
Andrézieux-Trélissac, 1-0: The very first loss of the TFC. Hervé Loubat’s players had started the season perfectly with two convincing victories, 0-2 in Nantes and 4-1 at home, against Lorient. Two victories against professional reserves. But Saturday evening, during the 3rd day of National 2, the trélissacois did not manage to achieve the pass of three. Andrézieux’s goal scored by Jordan Kassa in the 62nd minute will not find its Périgord counterpart. This time the TFC attack remained silent. A first defeat which should not make us forget the two previous services where the proposed game focused on the offensive seduced, especially against Lorient. A new style inspired by the new trainer, Hervé Loubat. Full results and N2 ranking (source FFF site). Trélissac is 5th in the Group D classification of National 2.
Bergerac snatches the draw on the Herbiers lawn
Les Herbiers-Bergerac, 1-1: A Bergerac equalizer in the last quarter of an hour. The Bergerac Périgord Football Club has known everything at the start of the National 2 season. 2-1 defeat at Vierzon, 1-0 victory at home against Bourges. There it is a draw, during this 3rd day of Group D, match played Friday, September 2, 2022. The Bergeracois were surprised in the 10th minute, Axel Tressens equalized for the BPFC in the 75th minute. 2 expulsions in this match, one on each side. For the trainer, Erwan Lannuzel, “the second period was more consistent than the first. The draw is a logical score”. Bergerac is 8th in the Group D classification of National 2. Paul Fauvel, general manager of the club was on the trip to Les Herbiers and gives us his analysis and the club’s ambitions for this new season. A Bergerac team rather in reaction on the Herbiers lawn.
Women’s football, start of the season for the Périgords
Cornil/Sainte Fortunade-Bergerac Périgord FC, 0-3 : This Sunday, September 4, 2022 at 3:00 p.m., it is with the Coupe de France that the season begins for the Bergerac Périgord FC women’s team. The proteges of Serge Pialat, coach for the eighth consecutive season, had a modest opponent for this first round of the Women’s French Cup, regional phase, the Cornil-Sainte Fortunade club, a Corrèze club which plays in interdistricts, i.e. two divisions in below Bergerac, which will soon start its season in Regional 1. However, the Bergeracoises complicated things in the first half and waited for the second to finally take over. For Serge Pialat, the Bergerac coach, it was a resumption match.
French Football Cup, several Périgord derbies
8 Périgord derbies were scheduled this Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 September 2022, during the second round of the French men’s football Cup. Here are the results: (in bold the Périgourdine teams)
Rugby, the CAP defeated in its last preparation match
Périgueux-Niort, 19-24: a defeat that can be described as logical. This Friday, September 2, 2022, it was at the Stade Jean Pauquet in Barbezieux, on neutral ground, that this last preparation match for the CAP was played. The capistes do not seem to have settled everything yet before the start of the season in National 2. The Périgords and the Niortais each scored 3 tries. But Périgueux was punished a little more than the opposing team and must above all provide solutions on the sidelines. The English coach of CAP, Richard Hill does not seem so worried and appreciated the physical fight. But it will be necessary to make improvements for the first match of the season, next weekend against Auch.
The National 2 CAP rugby team will be presented, as last year, to the public and Périgord supporters on Monday September 5, 2022 at 6:30 p.m. in the courtyard of the town hall. The players will be complete with the technical staff, but also, in the presence of the leaders of the club and the elected officials of the city. The opportunity for you to take a few selfies and exchange a few words with the department’s flagship team, whose National 2 matches you can follow at the Francis Rongièras stadium.
No Perigord winner in the tour of the 2 valleys in Saint Cyprien
142 riders took the start in Saint Cyprien, this Saturday, September 3, 2022, at the 30th edition of the Tour des 2 Vallées. 90km of racing on a loop in the shape of an 8, with quite a few climbs, good small steep hills which hurt the legs and made the selection. A race for the strong. A man quickly escaped, alone for 30km, then joined for the last 20 km of the race. So it’s a 4-man final and an edition that ends in a sprint, with a good minute lead over the peloton. Victory for Nicolas Bastien from AS Minerva ahead of Rémi Verhoeven from Guidon Biassais and 3rd to complete the podium, Anthony Bigouret from the Gouzon bike club. The best Périgord finished in 9th place, it was Wouter Vanaelst. The story of the race by the organizing president, Didier Baudet. He would have liked a stronger Périgord presence.
