The ten team Elite One competition became six with the best sides for the season progressing. It started with what is called barrages or elimination games. The two top sides take a break while the third to sixth play. The two winners of the 3rd-6th matches then play the two rested sides to decide which two will contest the final.
Barrages: Third placed FC Lézignan overcame RC St Gaudens 46-12 and RC Albi the same against Pia XIII 40-6. No surprise there.
Demi Finals: AS Carcassonne returned as the top ranked side and got past RC Albi 26-16 in a fairly close encounter. The second highest ranked Limoux Grizzlies had an easier passage through to the finals, defeating FC Lézignan 36-10.
Finale: Carcassonne defeated Limoux in last year's final and here they were again. Limoux hadn't won a final since 2017 so didn't want a repeat of last year. The Limouxins got the better of the early scoring and leading 14-0. By half time it was 14-6. The second half followed a similar pattern with Limoux pulling away 32-6 before some sort of comeback had the final score at 34-24. 8,221 fans came along to enjoy the action.
