Frontignan hosted Sarrazac in the French Cup on Saturday. The visitors claimed a 28:35 victory, taking all three points from the contest. By then, the home side had already shown signs of vulnerability in their recent outings.
To be fair, Sarrazac had been travelling well of late. They'd edged past Ivry 33:34 just a week earlier, then pushed US Créteil hard before that. The away win suggests the squad found its rhythm on the road, something that often separates good teams from great ones.
Frontignan's last five matches told a cautious tale. They'd lost to Valence 39:34, dropped points against Besançon 32:39, and suffered another defeat at Cannes 35:37. There was a pattern emerging.
And here's the thing — the contrast between the two sides' form was striking. Sarrazac had taken points from Massy-Essonnes 36:31 and beat Sarrebouret 30:29 in April. Against Frontignan, they didn't just win — they controlled the tempo from the opening whistle.
Seven goals separated the teams. For Frontignan, it was another setback in a campaign that needed momentum. Sarrazac moved forward with confidence, proving their away form would be a weapon in the cup run.
