French domestic league scheduled to start next month

 Hooray... covid permitting we will have some rugby league action to sustain us over the cold winter months.

Elite 1 and Elite 2 are going to be up and running soon.

Here is a link to treize mondial which has the best coverage of the season.

Its defaulted to the Catalans dashboard but you can support other teams (if you want!)

Let's hope for a good uninterupted season and a Catalans vs Palau grand final to keep all of us happy.

Fakir calls time on his career

Former Dragons forward Jamal Fakir has taken this break from the game as his cue to hang up his boots and retire from the game. 

Fakir was most latterly of our second favourite French club, Palau Broncos having also played domestic rugby for Lezignan. 

We would like to wish him all the best in his retirement. 

Domestic league win for Catalans

Avignon (0) 10

T : C. Rey, De Monte
G : Arnaud

St Estève XIII Catalan (14) 24

T : Laguerre 2, Brochon 2, Albert
G : Guasch 2

Catalans won what we are now calling the Tony Gigot derby with an efficient away performance at Avignon over the weekend.

Having built a commanding lead before the interval Lucas Albert was among the scorers in the second half to cement the win.

Our recent form has seen us jump from 5th to 2nd in the table.

Heavy win for our other team Palau

Palau 84-18 TO XIII

The tough domestic campaign continues for Toulouse as Palau finally got going with this heavy win.

After getting close to Catalans the week before, Olivier Elima and his team battered the visitors with a 40+ point first half setting them on their way.
