A cagey affair at the Olympique Yves du Maoir. Both sides not really getting going and it appears to be a battle between the kickers who have kept the score board ticking. Neither side will be happy with their first half performance as too many handling errors and ill discipline kept the game from flowing. Racing shouldbe further ahead but, a couple of kicks have been missed which have kept Stade in the game. Second half will hopefully see an improvement from both sides in all areas of the game.
