would some not qualify as residents?

Possibly Sam Key & Phil Ramage as they have been there the longest?

Lezignan beat Villeneuve this arvo 36-0 after leading 20-0 at the break. The Leopards never threatened & were completely out played.

Todays results:

Lezignan 48-28 Villeneuve

Pia 48-20 Avignon

Carpentras 16-50 St Esteve

Carcassonne 28-28 Montpellier

Limoux 60-16 St Gaudens

Think Montpellier were home for this one, but still a bit of a surprise result - they lost 94-0 against Pia last week and have struggled to name a full team some games.

Yes your right Jon, they did play at Montpellier. The Red Devils were unlucky by all accounts as ASC scored late in the game to snatch the draw. Indeed a big turnaround since the Pia defeat where they had a few injuries & then beat Albi in the cup last week.

Results:

ASC 46-22 Avignon

Limoux 80-10 Montpellier

Villeneuve 68-16 Carpentras

St Gaudens 24-40 St Esteve

Cheers for this Phil. If you want to collate it into a brief round-up every week for us, do get in touch

Limoux heading for a league double over their big rivals? FCL 4-16 Limoux after 51 minutes

18-10 with 10 to go. Surely the Grizzlies will close this one out

And they do. 18-14, final score.

Caught the last couple of minutes on the radio - sounded like an exciting match. I think that puts Limoux top, although FCL have the extra game in hand (at Pia).

Yeah, 2 tries a piece in terrible conditions in top of the table clash. Yes Jon, FCL could retain the lead with a win next weekend against Pia who face St Esteve this arvo. Should be a cracker of a game.

Results:

St Gaudens 18-38 Villeneuve

Lezignan 14-18 Limoux

St Esteve 20-38 Pia

Avignon 52-18 Montpellier

Carpentras 6-82 Carcassonne

great result for Limoux there

How are Big Phil and Luke Swain getting on over in France? Had a lot of time for both of them at Salford. I dare say we'd love to see Swainy back for his defensive efforts especially as his replacement (Bailey) looks likely to miss the season!

Both doing ok though big Phil was really missing Manchester (City) & his family - since his family came over he has settled in better and his family are happier and a team mate reckons he is considering a further season at FCL

Cheers Sanjunien. I know Phil really took to Manchester whilst he was over here, top bloke on and off the field. Glad it's going well for him.

yeh,he's a really nice guy - a gentle giant like most of the props !

he's patriotic cos' he still carries his Man City logo bag around with him for the matches !
