designated shooters during training last Thursday night and the two guards Stadium occur at midfield, immediately get together and huddle in a circle. Their partners are aligned and hug the edge of the button forming one. Under the command of the arbitrators enchainent penalty shootout. At each penalty scored our supporters burst of joy and echo their horns and drums. Every penalty conceded they express their intense disappointment. We perform a series perfect for shooting with five successes, without trembling. Unfortunately, our opponents are also very effective and the suspense becomes unbearable because pervasive and intensifying over an hour. Equal 5 all after the first round. We must continue with this time of sudden death. An exploit the goalkeeper on our sixth attempt, then without shaking the shooter HB3V crucify Alex, sprints to his partners and they all celebrate. From our side, after a few seconds of relief and huge disappointment we get together and exchange a few words to thank our great friends even more fans disappointed but we hiding for some very worthy few tears while testifying in blood meeting and the disappointment of all. 
An hour before the two young referees give the kick-off meeting in the beautiful hall of the complex of Saint Irieix perch (87). Both teams are very motivated (we would be at least) are clenched. The prohibition on the use of glue to help, many blunders are committed. At this game, players are faring in the Dordogne a little better and get the best start to lead 3-1. The game is weird, our players do not play. The impression they have stepped on the brake. The defense is present only intermittently, our mounted ball played in slow motion. We can not keep up with our opponents who remain in the lead but did not widen the gap that is keeping 1 or 2 goals. Our attack only found few solutions for lack of speed and commitment. Contacts with the opposing defense is very tough, sometimes to the limit. One or both would, in my view, have been punished more severely. Half-time is achieved with a score of 10 to 9 in our favor. One would think that the break would release our players. Unfortunately this was not the case and the beginning of the second act is identical to the first halftime ...
worse, since we allow players to Dordogne take up to 4 units in advance to lead 17-13. That's when we wake up a bit and with some nice action and found a defense, we go back and equate to 17 everywhere. Our opponents react and stop the bleeding by taking a goal lead. After a few misfires on both sides, we equalize. A good defense and the next attack we take the advantage 19-18. Taking advantage of numerical superiority we recover the ball at 50 seconds of the final whistle. Symbol of this match we were never able to master it, after about fifteen seconds into the attack, the referee raise his arm signifying that we had to shoot quickly. Our shooting precipitate is stopped by the goalkeeper. On the attack last chance, the players of Bergerac yet outnumbered manage to equalize. 19 across the final whistle and it is directly the shootout goals.
analysis of the game hurts. We are not able to handle the event. We are never truly back in the match and did not play our game Confirmation that the mental dimension and experience in these meetings are crucial. Technically, we have once again been ineffective and too often what passes in the league in the Landes, does not forgive this kind of meeting. Some significant figures: Only 54% of success in shooting, we scored more goals than our opponents have made 10 more shots, a low percentage of success at the wing (30%), 10 turnovers unprovoked ... It's hard to hear but true and this book should serve to the end of the season and help us achieve our main objective.
This adventure in France was cut very nice and ends with a superb weekend in Limousin, which starts Saturday morning with a start in a bus full (players, managers, supporters, hopes, dreams, desires ... ). After a trip without incident, we arrive at the cottage booked for several weeks. We can say that the choice is excellent as the setting and amenities are first class. The end of the day begins before the rugby team in France, continues with a dinner hosted and ends an evening more or less sage according to individual choice and enjoyable for all. After a short night and a breakfast, refreshing for some, we went to the room focused players, fans made up and fitted with yellow and black ready to set the mood. Too bad the day Sunday was shorter than planned because we had all the desire and motivation so that it lasts until very late. Despite the disappointment, the return was cheerful and courageous ended the day with a last meal together at the clubhouse at Silver.
A big thank you to all and all for this weekend.
