the Boucalais cool the Saint-Paul Sport
A point that’s all, one would be tempted to say at the sight of this winter match, played in the cold and the fog. It is missed opportunities that are the markers of the start of the game. Le Boucau could have opened the scoring on a reversal of attack, Puigredo being on the verge of crossing the Saint-Paul curtain.

A point that’s all, one would be tempted to say at the sight of this winter match, played in the cold and the fog. It is missed opportunities that are the markers of the start of the game. Le Boucau could have opened the scoring on a reversal of attack, Puigredo being on the verge of crossing the Saint-Paul curtain.
The Boucalais will camp for a while in the opposing 22m, and they believe they are lighting the fire after a penaltouche and two scrums in their favor. But without being able, again, to concretize. It was not until the 31st minute to see Trebucq pass the first three points in a game synonymous with almost, in an icy cold which tempered the offensive ardor.
The SPS warms up somewhat with a penalty from Lasserre (3-3), then following a penalty touch from Persillon and a deep scrum, Lasserre benefits from a new attempt which will prove unsuccessful. We will leave it there for this first act.
Careless mistake
At the resumption, the thirty actors will warm up with a good general, the hot chestnuts are out, the red cards too. The referee sends Pascouau and Trebucq to the fridge. Le Boucau dominates the rest of the debates. A Jardine-Fuster combination could have had a better fate, then Duhau replacing his striker Trebucq (out on card) misses a penalty in the mark area.
The locals regain the ascendancy in turn, and on a Boucalaise foul, Lasserre gives the advantage to the blue and whites (6-3). We play the 67th minute of a committed, rough and above all indecisive game. On the dismissal, the BTS launched an attack first with a breakthrough from Berge, relayed by the fast Puigredo who grilled the defense of the SPS barely recovered from their advantage. The visitor winger flattens in a corner and the Boucau takes the lead with a handful of minutes remaining (6-10).
Saint-Paul has the will to react, Lasserre investigates his third penalty (9-10) but the SPS spoils the wide open spaces. A penaltouch, a penalty played by hand: it heats up for Boucau, but it does not burn for Saint-Paul, the defensive bonus seeming very lukewarm given the defeat on the wire.
reactions
Christophe Pé (president of the SPS): “There was room to win in this undecided game until the end. We played, but not always very collective. »
Jérôme Haurier (captain of the Boucau): “It was a very tough match against a great team from Saint-Paul, I’m proud of the guys because we were able to recover after Hagetmau. These four points taken, it’s good for the future. »
