The Vaucluse team was playing to ensure they stayed in the league, while Nice – after a 10-point penalty – was playing for glory.
Final score: 37-32 for the home team, who accomplished a great feat on their turf. At halftime, Nice was leading 27-25.
The match was quite open, with 9 tries scored, 4 for Bédarrides and 5 for Nice.
But it was the former who triumphed over the Riviera team, for whom the greens have a true affinity: just last year, they had eliminated the team from Nice for the F2 championship title.
