This from Cliff Spraklen on TRL

Am hearing that Lyon look likely to drop into Elite 2 next season, barring some dramatic intervention.. The club has surprisingly much more depth than for many a season with Reserve and Junior teams. But a case of "reculer pour mieux sauter", step back to go foward. Three of the club#s best players are coming to play in England for the summer.
The positive news is that the "double headers" with LOU XV will continue, with three envisaged for next season. This is likely to bring both more spectator and commercial support, especially as the team is likely to win games.

The Elite 2 final on 17th May will be Baho v the winners of the "Petite Finale" held between Albi and Corbeil at Entraigues this weekend.
Baho will not move up. They reformed last summer taking many of the Le Barcares players who won the Elite 2 last year. They will mot move up just as Le Barcares did not. Albi want to return to Elite One but this is not the same team, nor indeed club, that reachred the Lord Derby Final last year. So think it remains a longer term goal. The Federation are keen to see Albi back.
Corbeil has said they would do everything possible to move up if they won the Elite 2 Championship. This is the club that discussed with me recently playing in an English competition, given the immense distances to the south from the Paris region. They do good development work having produced the Mayan twins at Limoux, and Coulibaly at St Gaudens. In fact there are two younger Coulibaly's in the current Corbeil side. Coach is Aussie Jamie Papa.
Corbeil hammered Albi recently at Corbeil, but then Albi were weakened. Playing at Entraigues gives Albi marginally less travelling and a better chance.

From Cliff Spraklen

Those of you who take Rugby League World will have seen my article on Corbeil-Essonnes from the Ile De France (Greater Paris) region), and noted the progress made under dedicated Chair Claude Houbloop.
Corbeil took another step foward today winning the Petite Finale of the Elite 2 Championship. beating Albi 48-16 at Entraigues in Provence.
Corbeil now meet Catalan club Baho in the Grand Final next weekend.
Claude has said he will make every effort to secure the funding to move up, if Corbeil win the Elite 2 Championship. If not he might well look to an English summer competition.

After having a poor start to the season, causing the Directors to read the riot to the players, who secured the Elite Championship last year, Lezignan confirmed they have hit top form at the business end of the season. Following an away play-off victory last week at Pia, they went to Limoux, the "minor premiers" and secured a hard fought victory by just two points. Lezignan's Greg Mazard made a try scoring tackle in the dying minutes, forcing Limoux's Hervre Marrot into touch just 3 metres out.
In the other eliminating semi-final play-off Carcassonne went to Pia and won.
With Lezignan through to the Final, Carcassonne now travel to Limoux next weekend for the Petite Finale, the winners going through to meet Lezignan.

Results:
X111 Limouxin 18 FC Lezignan 20
SM Pia 18 As Carcassonne 25

So whoever wins from Limoux v ASC it will be an "all Aude Final". Lezignan's presence in the Final will of course guarantee a noisy, colourful affair, with a decent crowd.

Info from Cliff Spracklen

The players were informed officially on Friday that it would be Elite 2. So only 9 clubs so far in the Elite. Montpellier spent this season trying to improve the financial underpinning of the club. Lots of PR events to attract new sponsors, win friends etc. This was given priority over team strengthening and the target for Montpellier is moving up to the Elite in September 2010.
