Elite 1 Women: ASM Romagnat has just won the third shield in its history

At the Ernest-Argeles stadium in Blagnac, the Auvergnates won the French Elite 1 championship, for the third time in their history, at the expense of the Blagnacaises (8-13).

ASM Romagnat won the French Elite 1 Women Championship, beating Blagnac in the final (13-8). On the lawn of Blagnac, the meeting was until the end of the suspense. After a first half like a round of boxing observation, the two teams returned to the locker room back to back with no points scored. From the start of the second half, the Auvergnates scored a try to start this final. It was Élise Pignot who scored this first try and opened the scoring counter after 42 minutes of play. Next, it was Jessy Trémouliere who scored the points on foot.

The women of Clermont had not reached this stage of the competition since 1998. After the two titles in 1994 and 1995, ASM Romagnat won the third shield of the French Women’s rugby championship in its history. Jessy Trémouliere’s Auvergne did not let Blagnac take the lead in this final.

The club’s success this season is also that of coach Fabrice Ribeyrolles who took over the team in 2015 in the second division, before returning to Elite 1 a year later. “We did not think we had this level at the start of the season, we had a goal which was the semi-finals, and which has been reached” relishes the former three quarter center and ASM captain. “We saw that we were able to catch the big guys who gave us 40 or 50 points a few years ago, it would really be a great adventure after our return to the top flight, I didn’t think that so little long enough we would be able to touch this shield with our fingers, it is also a certain pride that the club is growing like that “.

Camille Lopez’s message of encouragement

Beaten in Bordeaux, the boys are the first supporters of the girls confirms Camille Lopez. “They did something great, now there is one last step left, and I hope they will do it” enthuses the ASM opener. “Because it’s something incredible in a lifetime to win a trophy, we had this chance there four years ago, we will be behind them.” The third title for the club, after the historic double in 1994 and 1995 against Saint-Orens and the Pachys d’Herm.
