Plan-de-Cuques Women drew 27:26 with Brest Bretagne Women in the Butagaz Energy League on 9 September. The hosts had started the campaign unbeaten with two draws and found themselves sharing points with the league's second-placed side. Brest Bretagne, unbeaten through their opening two matches, had to settle for a share of the spoils.
Before the game, the standings told a straightforward story. Plan-de-Cuques sat eleventh with two points from two games, while Brest Bretagne occupied second place with six points and two wins from two matches. The visitors had won three of their last five, including victories over Sola and Dijon, though they had also suffered defeats against Győr and CSM Bucharest.
By then, the hosts were looking for something to change their momentum. Their recent record showed two heavy losses to Metz and Dijon, followed by a draw with Dijon and a win over Aschheim-Truchterheim. To be fair, they had shown they could produce results when needed, but consistency had been elusive.
The final score confirmed what the table suggested would be a difficult away fixture for the visitors. Plan-de-Cuques extended their unbeaten run to three matches, while Brest Bretagne's perfect start came to an end. The result leaves the hosts two points clear of the drop zone and the visitors still leading their section but with a gap closing behind them.
