CARCASSONNE won their first championship title in ten years and their twelfth in all at the expense of a Limoux side that started well but could not maintain their momentum.
In the fervent atmosphere generated by an 8,000-plus crowd, hailed as a “great success” by Federation president Luc Lacoste, Carcassonne put last year’s defeat by Lézignan behind them and produced a more controlled performance than league leaders Limoux.
