Second consecutive defeat for Stade Niçois’ first team against AUC with a score of 15 to 13.
The first team was defeated 15 to 13 against a valiant Aix team fighting to stay in federal 3. Despite a convincing start, the Stade Niçois players could not find solutions to score during their possessions. Penalized too often, the Niçois faced a well-organized and aggressive defense throughout the match, preventing them from establishing their game. However, following a grubber kick behind the defense, Maël Parcheminer went between the posts to score the only try of the match with 2 minutes to go! The hardest part seemed done, but another mistake gave Aix’s kicker the chance to land a penalty from nearly 45 meters just at the final whistle!
The reserve team continues its fantastic run, claiming their 10th consecutive win against AUC with a score of 24 to 10. Struggling for a long time, the Niçois couldn’t impose the pace that makes them strong in recent matches. Nonetheless, thanks to two moments of brilliance in the final moments of the match, the red and blacks scored two 80-meter tries in less than a minute. The team earns the offensive bonus with 4 tries scored, solidifying their first place with 3 matches remaining before the playoffs…
