On Sunday, May 17, Rodez (Fédérale 2) and Lévezou Segala (Fédérale 3) were in action.
Rodez’s hopes of promotion come to an end. After a controlled 16th round at home (26-6, with bonus point), the Ruthénois traveled to L’Isle-Jourdain on Sunday with a good chance of qualifying. Despite a comfortable lead, it wasn’t enough. Following a disastrous start to the match, the red and yellow team suffered a defeat by the same score they had inflicted on the Haut-Garonnais a week ago. The home team scored four tries in this return match, compared to three for the Aveyron players in the first leg.
The day before, Millau was also narrowly eliminated on the field of Bièvre Saint-Geoirs (20-6, despite Som having a 12-point lead after the first round).
LSA has the upper hand but misses out on the bonus
In the first leg of the Fédérale 3 16th round, which determines a ticket to Fédérale 2 for the winner, Lévézou Segala took the lead against Barcus-Menditte, winning 31-25 a week before traveling to the Basque Country. The only issue was that the visitors secured the offensive bonus point. Therefore, Eric Viarouge’s team will have a tough challenge ahead next Sunday.
