AMERICAN FOOTBALL

Their whole season, their future in terms of grants, partners, infrastructure, members ... was played on a face of the formidable Bears Toulouse. As if the stakes were not enough, he had to weather to get involved with a real furnace on Saint-Clement-de-Riviere, host for the first time a football match U.S.. And what a match! Absolutely not paralyzed by the challenge, the two rivals went blow for blow. Entertainment and suspense have been present during discussions with the first action, a touchdown of the Hurricanes! The beginning of a series of leadership changes. Both teams, based on their strengths and moving without restraint: the premises using their speed to thwart the defense side, the visitors strength. At half time, it remained to Toulouse (33-27). After a galvanizing talk to rest, the Hurricanes back on the ground with a clear objective: to be at the end of regulation time. And so as not to throw away all the efforts and sacrifices made during the season. Training on parking, injury or research grants ... this would still make sense if the Hurricanes were maintained in the D2. Then they would throw all their forces remained in the battle. And the meeting became less epic for one minute the final whistle, the premises were then compared to a very small length of their high-Garonna visitors a day (39-40). The Hurricanes advanced until reaching an ideal position to attempt a kick at 3 points (field goal). The ball was hit ... it was, and was going between the posts! 42 to 40, players, coaching staff and could not hold back their tears. They had won the right exiting D2 next season.
