Women's Rugby - The Rascasses Lose in Saint Martin

For the resumption of the championship, Saint-Barth’s women’s rugby team, the Rascasses, traveled to Saint Martin on Saturday, November 7. On the schedule: a match against the Archigirls. On the field at Bellevue Stadium, the players—coached by Fabien Maurel and Thomas Boisseau—put up a strong fight but ultimately fell short in the final moments of the game after the Archigirls scored a try (36–31). It was a bitter defeat that sets the stage for a lively rematch in Saint Barth on February 27. In the meantime, the Rascasses will be back in action on Saturday, November 28. This time, they’ll be playing at home, hosting Bruc (Guadeloupe, Abymes) at the Saint-Jean stadium.
As a warm-up to the season opener between the Archigirls and the Rascasses, the Barracudas faced off against the Archiballs of Saint Martin—but in a friendly match. The Saint-Barth rugby team won’t kick off their season until November 28, at home at the Saint-Jean Stadium, against the Goyave Rugby Club.
