Boulazac U21

Boulazac Isle Manoire sits just outside Périgueux, on the Dordogne.

The reserve team plays under colours chosen for the region rather than the club itself — white, black, green and purple stand for the four historic sub-areas of Périgord, Blanc, Noir, Vert and Pourpre. It is the same badge the senior side wears when it faces Limoges CSP in the Derby du Sud-Ouest, a fixture the Espoirs feel by association even when their own results carry no weight in it.

What the age-group side is mostly known for is producing rather than winning. Paul Billong and Youri Golitin came through it before moving on, and Darryl Monroe passed through the same pipeline on his way to a senior promotion campaign; the club leans on that route more than on trophies at this level. The senior team has the Pro B title from 2025 and two runner-up finishes either side of it, plus older wins in Nationale 1 and Nationale 2, but none of that belongs to the Espoirs record.

The U21s have no national title of their own to point to. In a system built to hand players upward, that has so far been treated as beside the point.
