It was the Alba's first semi-final and what a semi!
Indeed, the Alba found itself, once again, facing the formidable Lucerne team.
The red and black team had only one objective: show a different face!
We can tell you that we were not disappointed!
Despite a match start that could have suggested the Alba would have a difficult encounter, the girls regrouped behind their fly-half who was making tackle after tackle, wanting to let nothing pass.
But the desire alone could not be enough to stop the Lucerne team who physically and tactically dominated Alba.
In the second half, Alba caused many problems for Lucerne who struggled to find their second wind and impose their game.
Alba doesn't give up and will do more than resist by scoring their long-awaited try after a run over several meters by the valiant and recently repositioned to the wing flanker position Emma, buzzing during this match!
This try rewards the determination of the entire team to never admit defeat.
Despite a reduced squad the girls gave everything until the final whistle.
It is on a match where the score does not reflect the seriousness of our warriors that the XV season comes to an end.
A great season that promises only beautiful things in the future for the Alba players…
We wish both finalist teams a beautiful final.
Looking forward to seeing them again next season!
