| 2nd division side Villefranche XIII Aveyron made it to the cup semi-final |
For the season, there were eleven teams in the Elite 1 competition. Lyon-Villeurbanne came in for Marseille XIII Avenir in the Elite One league. SM Pia had won everything in 2005-06 so had a big assignment to repeat that success.
League: SM Pia's took the league title with 54 points with Toulouse Olympique XIII just behind on 51 points. FC Lézignan had 47 along with RC Saint-Gaudens. AS Carcassonne was fifth (45 points).
Finals: In the elimination round, AS Carcassonne defeated UTC 32-11, FC Lézignan overcame Villeneuve XIII 49-22 and RC Saint-Gaudens were too good for Limoux Grizzlies, winning 46-12. The Quarter finals had FC Lézignan prevailing over UTC 44-16 plus RC Saint-Gaudens taking the match against AS Carcasonne 31-15.
The semi final games saw SM Pia proving too strong for RC Saint-Gaudens 30-12. In the other game FC Lézignan defeated Toulouse Olympique XIII 24-12. The grand final had SM Pia squeaking past FC Lézignan 20-16. Nearly 8,000 attended the game which was held at Colomiers, a suburb in Toulouse.
Lord Derby Cup: In the quarts de finale, RC Carpentras XIII were eliminated, along with Lyon Villeurbanne Rhône à XIII, Villeneuve XIII and Limoux Grizzlies.
The demi-finales FC Lézignan were beaten by SM Pia 26-22 and second division side Villefranche XIII Aveyron did well to make it this far but were soundly defeated by AS Carcassonne 60-0. The Finale arrived and Pia secured the treble with a 30-14 victory over Carcassonne. The half time score was 24-10. 5,500 were at Carcassonne to witness the match.
Summary: Pia won everything for for the second year in a row and only a gallant FC Lézignan got near them. For my system of allocating points, Pia had 60, Lézignan 44, Carcassonne 34 and Toulouse 30.
