Dimanche 26 mai sera jour de dernière en Régional 1 et Régional 2. Une 22e journée à gros enjeux pour les Gardois avec, en R1, un Bagnols – Uzès décisif pour le maintien et, en R2, le leader Vauvert qui pourrait être promu…

On Sunday, eyes will be riveted towards Escanaux where FCBP (8th, 22 points) hosts ESPU (10th, 20) in a final for maintenance in R1. Ears will hang around Béziers where they will play Fabrègues (9th, 21), also in danger.

Regional 1: Bagnols-Pont – Uzès: woe to the vanquished

''This is a Cup final. It's the one who gives the most on the field who will win. decor before Uzès. If his players find themselves holding their ground, it’s because they haven’t done everything well on the pitch. Problem: outside, too, the leaders failed.
Team 1 lost 3 points due to the fact that the reserve did not finish its championship. ''We blame ourselves, educators, complains Lefebvre. The job was done (25 points, saved). Just a detail that we don't look at and we're fooled.''
Against Uzès, a draw will be enough if Fabrègues does not win in Béziers. The ESPU will have to impose itself to, at a minimum, see the play-offs between 9ths (only one hold). ''On arriving, the first speech was to say that the mission was to give ourselves the chance to play a final in the last match, in Bagnols, notes Stéphane Saurat, on the bench since the beginning of February in Uzès (6 points). The guys never gave up. When you're a competitor, playing a high-stakes match on the last day is extraordinary.''
Bagnols-Pont (8th, 22 points) hosts Uzès (10th, 20 points), Sunday at 3 p.m., Léo-Lagrange stadium.
