Poitou Charentes Football Round-Up - 20 October

Description:

Coup de France - 5^th Round - 18/19 October

There were no real surprises this weekend in the fifth round of the Coup de France, although Chauvigny came within a whisker of coming through the round at home to Chamois Niortais from the National division.  There were chances at both ends with Chauvigny more than matching their opponents from 3 levels above.  The full set of results for our clubs was as follows:

The sixth round will take place on 2 November.

Tuesday 14 October

FC Sete 34 0 - 0 Chamois Niortais

A morale boosting draw against high-flying Sete ahead of the weekend cup clash with Chauvigny.  Next Saturday sees Niort up against AC Arles, who are second top of the league.  The club's dreadful start to the season has prompted fans to demonstrate recently, with many choosing to stay away.  There are real fears that this historic club could plunge into the CFA if results do not start to improve.
