Espoirs :
For the 2nd day of the championship, the youngsters from Isère were playing their counterparts from Toulon. An intense match, with a lot of contact, but which did not allow to get many points for the 2 teams.
The Grenoble team had a better start than the southerners. Indeed, it is the "Red & Blue" who open the score with a penalty, then with an unconverted try, the intense wind at Lesdiguières makes the kickers' work difficult. Toulon reduced the gap at the end of the first half with a try flattened by the 3rd line centre following a scrum a few metres from the Grenoble line. Half time score : 08-05.
A complicated 2nd half for both sides followed. For a long time the 2 teams will confront each other in midfield, without one or the other taking the upper hand. In spite of several minutes camping on the Toulon side, FCG does not get any points. Only Toulon, thanks to a breakthrough of the winger, will manage to score during this 2nd period, they pass 2 small points in front of the locals. Score at the end of the game : 08-10.
