Mourning instead of the match. The Tarnais derby of Federal 1 (third division) rugby between Graulhet and Lavaur, scheduled this Sunday, has been canceled. This decision was taken after the accidental death of the Graulhet player Beka Burdiashvili, in the middle of the morning.
The 27-year-old Georgian pillar was killed while driving his car in the town of Lamillarié, south of Albi. He was going to the Noël-Pélissou stadium to prepare for the afternoon meeting.
After attending the Pro D2 in Carcassonne, Burdiashvili had joined Federal 1 and Graulhet in 2014. He returned there this season after a two-year interlude in the Var club of La Seyne-sur-Mer, still in the third division.
