The Paris Cocks (the union of the Paris Cocks Footy club comprising players from both the Cockerels and Cockatoos) has taken out the 2017 Coupe Du Nord in Lyon this weekend. After a premiership season which saw both teams ultimately fall to the mighty ALFA Lions, the Paris crew took solace in adding this piece of silverware to their rather large display cabinet.

The Cocks went through the tournament undefeated, whilst the ALFA Lions and Cergy Pontoise Coyotes nabbed a win each against each other across the three-team round robin draw. The scores from the matches were:




Paris Cocks d Cergy Pontoise Coyotes: 37 - 20
Cergy Pontoise Coyotes d ALFA Lions: 39 - 31
Paris Cocks v ALFA Lions: 65 - 10
Paris Cocks d Cergy Pontoise Coyotes: 37 - 27
ALFA Lions d Cergy Pontoise Coyotes: 47 - 25
Paris Cocks d ALFA Lions: 60 – 20
