Football: two Thau teams for a third round which will not be offered

Les Muscatiers iront visiter l’Aveyron. MIDI LIBRE – E.R.

Mercredi soir, 4 septembre, la Ligue régionale a procédé au tirage du troisième tour de la Coupe de France.

This draw only concerned two teams from the Thau area. A very meager participation so early in the competition that must be put into perspective given the opponents who were proposed in the previous round. Thus, Olympique Lapeyradois only gave in on penalties and FC Domitia only after a fierce resistance against regional teams from R2. Both were not so far from securing their ticket to continue their journey. It remains, it must be admitted, that the results are not what was hoped for but we will have to be satisfied with it.

Asfac and SC Sète now know their opponent for September 14 or 15. And fate, as often, has been mischievous. It offers the “Green and White” the opportunity to welcome a big name from Aude from R1 with the tangos of FU Narbonne. For Adil El Hasnouni, it is a very good thing: « We will play at home, against a big club, it is an opportunity to gauge ourselves. This can only be beneficial for the objective that we have set for ourselves this season .

For Asfac, it is the opposite, it will be 125 kilometers south of Millau, facing the Aveyron team of Saint-Georges-de-Luzençon who play in D1. Note the clash between R1 teams which will pit Grau-du-Roi against Atlas-Paillade.

SC Sète (R2)/FU Narbonne (R1), FC Saint-Georges (D1)/Asfac (R1).
