Ceret SV
Baptiste Peytavi en bleu et blanc
At 23 years old, Baptiste Peytavi, the sturdy Catalan second row (1.96m, 112kg) has just committed to the Ceret Sportif Vallespir, his training club.
A true product of Ceret, Peytavi was playing at Stadoceste Tarbais, but the Pyrenean club, competing in Nationale 1, has just declared a general withdrawal.
Millas
Les rouge et noir relégués
A quick rise and then they’re gone… After a strong start to the season in Federale 3, the Millas team has faced a difficult end to their journey.
Promoted this season, Laurent Bosch’s men saw their last hopes of staying afloat vanish last Sunday at home against their Illibérien neighbors (15-24) and will therefore return to regional 1 next season.
Ponteilla
Nicolas Bruzy remet ça
Former player from RC Toulon, USAP, Rumilly, and Ceret, Nicolas Bruzy, 51 years old and former coach of Thuir and Prades, joined the green and white club four years ago as a coach.
Recently settled with his wife and children in the village, he has just agreed with the board to remain at the helm of the team in 2026-2027.

Les écoles s’illustrent
