The Flash won against the reigning champions, and the promoted Cannes took a lead in the standings.
After the blockages encountered in the first week of competition, the French Elite championship was finally able to offer all its posters.
In the Northern Conference, the Flash of La Courneuve won against the reigning champions, the Black Panthers of Thonon-les-Bains, taking advantage of opposing errors and the unavailability of the starting quarterback, José Tabora Jr. Final score : 21-7.
Freshly promoted, the Leopards of Rouen held off the Cougars of Saint-Ouen (12-21). The Rouennais built their lead in the first half and did not give up against the Cougars who were still looking for attack. A great away victory.
In the Southern Conference, the Catalans Grizzlys also achieved success on the road against the Nice Dauphins (19-21). Despite the adjustments made by the Niçois in the second half, the Perpignans were able to maintain their lead built up in the first half.
The Marseille Blue Stars defeated the Toulouse Bears with a score of 22-7. In a match that had been closed for a long time, Marseille won in the second half with brilliant actions on three sides of the ball.
The Iron Mask of Cannes takes the lead of the day against the Argonautes of Aix en Provence: 35 to 8. The promoted players showed varied and explosive football which allowed them to display a significant advantage at the break. Too hard for Aix, who made too many mistakes to get back into the match.
The third day of the Elite championship will be held on March 2 and 3.
