Football: a derby, heavy and lighter on the Thau boat in the Occitanie Cup

Balaruc ira défier les Montpelliérains du Petit-Bard. MIDI LIBRE – E.R.

The draw for the third round of the Coupe d'Occitanie took place this Wednesday, October 2, at the premises of the Hérault Football District.

As is often the case, fate has the gift of generating atypical, unique but always interesting encounters. Thus, the derby between the reds of La Peyrade and the greens of Sète on the pitch of the former is not one of the most common matches. It should attract football fans from the Thau lagoon. Similarly, in Villeveyrac we will be entitled to the rematch of the first round of the Coupe de France. The men of the Moureaux-De Felice duo had bowed out with honours at the very end of the match.

A shock for Balaruc

In the department of unbalanced matches on paper, the meeting between Mézois and residents of the district of the Silver Cross offers a good hope of qualification. Conversely, it is uncertainty that will accompany the Balarucois at the residents of R2, FC Petit-Bard. This is one of the shocks of this draw.

Finally, it should be noted that it was only the penalty shootout that allowed Castelnau to eliminate AS Mirevalaise this Wednesday evening. Bruno Rey, the president, did not hide his pride in his players who held a R2 team in check: « I am proud of my players and surprised by the physical aggression of our captain by a Castelnauvien. All were perfect except one who deserved the red that was awarded to him».
