Ribérac rugby overcomes scheduling chaos to reach Régionale 2 final
French amateur side CA Ribérac navigates a week of venue and time changes to face Rabastens in the Régionale 2 decider Sunday at Saint-Sylvestre-sur-Lot.
CA Ribérac will face Rabastens in the Régionale 2 final on Sunday at 15:00 in Saint‑Sylvestre‑sur‑Lot after a week of scheduling chaos forced venue and kick‑off changes. The match was originally scheduled for Saturday in Ribérac, but persistent rain and logistical issues forced organizers to move the venue to Saint‑Sylvestre‑sur‑Lot and shift the kick‑off to Sunday afternoon. The change came after the original venue’s pitch was deemed unplayable, leaving Ribérac’s players and staff scrambling to adapt.
Rabastens, the opposition, also faced disruptions, with their last league game postponed due to similar weather conditions. Despite the turmoil, both teams have progressed through the playoffs to reach this decisive fixture, with Ribérac’s campaign marked by narrow wins and resilient performances. Benjamin Mignot, Ribérac’s manager, admitted the week had been a test of adaptability.
