RED STAR SCORE FOUR ! AllezRedStar.com don't have the chance to carry this headline very often, less so on their travels, but on Saturday Red Star turned on the style to find the net four times at Montluçon. Goalless at the break, Red Star opend the scoring after two minutes of the second half through Bruce Inkango. Fifteen minutes later Durand laid the ball off for Koudou to duble Red Stars' lead. Montluçon tried to get back into the game, but with six minutes remaining Red Star appeared to have put the game beyond the home sides' reach as Mete powered home a fine header. The last minutes saw Red Star almost throw the game away - firstly Sall then Sylla took advantage of poor defending at corners to bring Montluçon back into the game. However as the home side pressed they were caught by a break by Moreira whom set up Dimitri Durand to score Red Stars' fourth. Incidentally, the last time that Red Star scored four on their travels in a league game was back in September 2007 when a poor Epernay side were beaten 4-0. Prior to that Guingamp reserves were seen off 4-0 at Bauer, in August 2006, two weeks after Pontivy conceded five, also at Bauer. CFA RESULTS Pau - Niort : 2 - 2 Albi - Balma : 2 - 1 Luçon - Colomiers : 1 - 0 Anglet - Toulouse Fontaines : 1 - 0 Les Herbiers - Libourne Saint-Seurin : 3 - 1 Aurillac - Vendée Fontenay Foot : remis MONTLUCON - RED STAR FC 93 : 2 - 4 Le Mans B – Yzeure : 2-2 Bordeaux B - Paris SG B : 1 - 1 RESERVES MARCH ON Red Stars' reserves continue their remarkable run, extending it to six straight wins. This time co-leaders La Garenne-Colombes were the victims, going down 1-0 to a Hamdi Razak penalty in the later stages of the game. David Giguets' men are now three points clear of La Garenne-Colombes and four ahead of Franconville, who had their game postponed. Next challenge for the reserves is a trip to sixth placed Neauphle. Meanwhile the third XI drew 1-1 with Romainville. Note that if the reserves win their championship, they will be promoted to the DH, which is where the first team were until promotion to the CFA 2 in 2005.

No shirt removing, somersaults, corner flag dancing or anything like that, Hamdi engageed in a spot of "Cowboys & Indians" using the athletics equipment at the Ile des Vannes...

WIN SOME, DRAW SOME, LOSE SOME. Red Stars' "Big Three" sides experienced all the possible results this weekend. Starting with the first XI, at home to Les Herbiers. The first half, dire by all accounts saw Red Star fall behind to the visitors first real attack of the game. From a free kick, the captain Mauduit bent a beauty past Xavier Pinoteau. As Red Star huffed and puffd to get back in the game, Samuel Delahaye, the lively young striker doubled the visitors' advantage five minutes before the pause. After the break and some Red Star substitutions, the midweek game and the previous weekends' cup marathon started to tell on the visitors' legs on a particularly heavy surface. Wilson Moreira followed up a blocked goal attempt to bring Red Star back into the game. Ten minutes before the end Red Stars' supoorters breathed a collective sigh of relief as the mercurial Yoann Delaneuville drew the sides level. Red Star went for the kill but almost fell victim to a sucker punch in the dying seconds. 2-2 the final score, sighs of relief all around, but boy was it laborious. Scenes from the game on Saturday Red Stars' reserves travelled to the Val d'Oise to play Franconville, group leaders in the DSR. Against a side reputed for their goalscoring talents, Red Stars' defence held firm in the first forty-five minutes, largely thanks to the goalkeeping exploits of Xavier Lo Mele. After the break with the winds in their backs, Red Star started to get back into the game without really threatening the home goalkeeper. Miguel Da Pina only just failed to get on the end of a dangerous cross but it took a bad foul on Red Stars' Stéphan Honoré to have a big impact on the game. The Franconville player received his marching orders and at ten against a strong wind and a resolute Red Star defence the balance of the game shifted. Honoré was replaced by Fouzi Djemali and his first contribution of the game was to send a scorching thirty-yard drive only inches over the bar. In the dying seconds of the game Ludovic Fardin exploited the space left by the dismissed left-back and fired over a cross which Djemali got his head on to. Joy for the Red Star players and supporters. Red Star held on to earn their fifth straight win, which puts them to the top of the table. A contrast from two seasons ago when defeat at Franconville condemned Daid Giguets' men to relegation. Fouzi Djemali celebrates his winner with the goalie beaten Meanwhile Red Stars' third XI went down 3-2 to Aulnay, despite coming back twice in the game through Meskoula and Tchouakue. However in stoppage time Aulnay grabbed a very late winner.
