ASC Saint Apollinaire-Talant RC is a French amateur rugby union club based in Saint-Apollinaire, Côte d'Or on the outskirts of Dijon in Burgundy, in eastern central France. They have two senior sides that compete in Honneur Bourgogne/Franche-Comté, (effectively the 6th tier of French rugby) and the equivalent Réserve Honneur competition. The club also operates an "école de rugby" comprising sides at U-7, U-9, U-11, U-13, U-15 levels. There are also teams at U-17 and U-19.[1]
Club History
ASC Saint Apollinaire-Talant RC came about as a result of a merger between the rugby section of ASC Saint Apollinaire and Talant Rugby Club. Talant RC played their home games at the Complexe Sportif Marie-Thérèse Eyquem in Talant, a commune to the north-west of Dijon. The facilities at Marie-Thérèse are still used occasionally by Saint Apo-Talant for training purposes.
From season 2006/07 until relegation at the end of the 2009/10 season, the club were in Fédérale 3, (the 5th Division). Season 2010/11 has brought a new experienced coach; Félicien Kus, formerly of CS Nuiton, and the club is heading in the right direction with some solid results this season.[2]
Training
The senior teams hold training sessions on Wednesdays and Fridays starting at 7.30pm until around 9-9.30pm. The club welcome all prospective players to attend.
