The Stadium which remains undefeated at home.
A success obtained after a tough match taking into account the climatic conditions and also of the beautiful opposition of the Carcassonnais. It is indeed also a meeting that the Mons people would have lost two or three years ago. One trap match made difficult by the weather conditions, three degrees, freezing rain at times, heavy terrain. And the difficulty expected from this resumption of the championship after three weeks of truce for the confectioners. Always complicated to negotiate this kind of turn. And Mons had a lot to do with active, solid Languedocians, team with character, opportunistic and determined, very difficult to maneuver. As we know her. Everything starts well with a test of the third line William Wavrin, from the 14th minute on a masterful group- penetrating following a penal touch played on the edge of the goal. But twelve minutes later the Audois recovered at 22 meters and the rear Maxime Gianet scored on a big breakthrough from the 3rd line center Tim Agaba. 10-10 with lemons, it gets stretched. However the second period will once again dismantle the resources and quality of cohesion of Mons who little by little will get their hands on the ball, organized and serious. The Gascons will then use Carcassonne in repeated and bruising waves, by, in particular, also, the important, impressive and precious commitment of Faelafa, Cedaro and Muzzio. Which will bruise the Audois by their repeated assaults. And add to that the still impeccable orientation of their opener Willie Du Plessis. Coly and Laousse – Azpiazou, active in the game, took turns doing the job by investigating all their shots. Mont-de-Marsan who, in this typically trap game in the heart of winter, demonstrated his ability to sublimate himself in difficulty, never to break, to persevere.
The group that leaves feathers in the fight, its right pillar Anthony Alvès, seriously hit in the right shoulder, Coly and Brethous limped out, Laval, right pillar also had to be replaced.
Mont-de-Marsan remains a leader instill two steps ahead of Oyonnax.
Next match Thursday, January 13, outing in Nevers, currently 5th.
