Courdon-d'Auvergne secured a convincing 39-30 win against Draguignan Var in the ProLigue on Friday evening. The result extends the hosts' perfect start to the season, keeping them second in the table with three victories from three matches.
Draguignan Var's record shows a tougher beginning to the campaign. The visitors sit in 14th place with just one win and two draws from their opening three fixtures, accumulating only two points so far.
Courdon-d'Auvergne have looked sharp in recent outings. They beat Sont 32-26 and Pont-Combe 34-29 in September, adding to earlier victories over Sarbourg and USAM Nîmes Gard. Their consistency has been notable.
Draguignan Var's form has been more mixed. A 28-26 win over Val-d'Oaz in early September was followed by defeats to Istres and Cherbourg. They remain winless in their last two league encounters.
The home side's victory means they stay within touching distance of the league leaders. Draguignan Var's position at the bottom half of the table leaves them with work to do if they hope to climb away from the relegation zone.
