Aveyron Cup: no 100% South Aveyron final

Saint-Georges s’est offert son billet pour la finale de la coupe d’Aveyron. Jean-Louis Bories

Si Saint-Georges s’est offert un billet pour Paul Lignon, dans l’autre demi-finale Aguessac s’est incliné dimanche aux tirs au but face à Naucelle. Rageant.

Infuriating! To hear Selim Bourdif, the coach of Aguessac defeated on penalties on Sunday against Naucelle, there was room for, a rare occurrence to be underlined, two clubs from South Aveyron to meet in Paul -Lignon to play in the final of the Aveyron Cup on May 25.

The Southern Derby will wait

The day before, however, Saint-Georges had done things well by logically winning (3-1) against Espalion – the title holder – at the end of the other semi-final. For the two Division 1 residents, the possibility of replaying the "Southern Derby" end of May so stop there. Not without regret for Aguessac who missed the boat very narrowly (0-0, 5-6 tab).

"There is mostly frustration at losing on penalties. We had drawn with them twice and there a third time. It’s a huge regret for everyone, the club. The meeting was sterile, it came down to details. We perhaps missed a little of this madness which makes the difference in the genre of meetings. For me, it was my last. It was a great story, we would have liked to have gone to the end, they deserved it as much as we did, conceded Selim Bourdif who after seven seasons in Aguessac will hang up his crampons player and the coach's apron at the end of the championship.
