The second day of the national club championship did not smile on Hips, beaten twice this weekend of October 22 and 23 in Saint-Jean-de-la-Ruelle (Loiret), in D3. The Euréliens first lost 26-10 against the local team with triplets which were fatal to them. They then lost 20-16 against Aubergenville (Yvelines), the game being played during the doubles. With only one victory for three losses since the start of the season, Christophe Petit and his colleagues occupy the penultimate rank of their pool and have mortgaged their chances of maintaining before going to Auxerre (Yonne) on November 5 and 6 to the next day.
