It was in the setting of one of the rooms of the Bayssan estate, in Béziers, that the players in Hérault rugby met this Thursday, October 3, to reward those who shone during the 2023-2024 season.

For about ten days, during the month of September, Internet users were able to elect their winners in 15 categories, on midilibre.fr.

A total of 15,801 votes were counted this year, 1,000 more than in 2023.
Local rugby personalities (Marques, Lorre, Tulou, Chalureau, Fernandes) took part in the celebrations, taking advantage of the opportunity to show their gratitude for what makes rugby so essential.
