Castres beat Albi & move into Top14’s top three

By on 29th September 2009

Castres moved up into the top three of the French first division after a bonus point 25-21 win over bottom-placed Albi on Tuesday.


The three-tries-to-nil victory left Castres on 25 points from eight games in the Top14 , equal with Clermont, with defending champions Perpignan in pole position on 27 points.


Albi remain rooted to the bottom with just eight points accrued and just one win to their credit all season.


All of Albi’s points came from the boot, Frederic Manca nailing four penalties and one drop-goal, with Benjamin Lapeyre hitting a penalty and Kevin Boulogne a drop-goal.


Castres ensured a vital bonus point by scoring three five-pointers: Cameron McIntyre, Marc Andreu and Yoan Audrin all touched down while full-back Romain Teulet booted two conversions and a penalty, Kiwi McIntyre also claiming one.
