XIII Limoux Grizzlies League Placings : 2000-23

XIII Limoux Grizzlies in the Aude area in southern France. They play in the Elite One Championship. The club was formed in 1951 after a disagreement with the French Rugby union. Despite that long history, it has been in the last decade it has enjoyed its greatest successes. 

It wasn't doing that well in the year 2000 but incremental improvements can be observed in the chart below as time passed. They took the league title in 2008-09 and 2013-14 seasons. A Lord Derby Cup and grand finals in 2008-09, 2010-11 and 2017-18 were also achieved. 

A couple of seasons in the middle were uncharacteristic hiccups in an otherwise profitable time for the club. They won the league in 2022, the first time since 2014. 

The following year (2022-23) was almost as good, with a second placing as shown below. They also reached the semi final of the Lord Derby Cup in 2023 and won the grand final of the playoff series. Not a bad season then.
