History
During the mid eighties RC Baho XIII reached three consecutive National 2 now called National Division 1 finals. Losing the first one in season 84/85 against Palau XIII Broncos 15-24, they gained revenge in 1985/86 beating Palau XIII Broncos 34-20, then lost 6-7 against US Trentels XIII in 1987. This sudden burst of finals appearances was quickly extinguished and the club wouldn't reach another final for another 22 years. 2008/09 was the season when the club would embark on another flurry of finals appearances but this time with more success and for a more sustained period and at the higher second tier level the Elite Two Championship. In that first season they finished runner-up behind Corbeil XIII having lost the final 14-30, semi-finalists the following season was followed by another runners-up spot losing this time to RC Lescure-Arthes XIII 0-12. After another semi-final appearance in 2011/12 more disappointment followed the next season when they had to settle for runner-up again, losing on this occasion to their rivals from the eighties, Palau XIII Broncos 22-26, Finally in 2013/14 they lifted the title when they beat the favourites RC Albi 18-12. Semi-finalists in 2015 preceded a 5th place in 2015/16. The following season the club finished top of the table again but were beaten in the final by Villefranche XIII Aveyron. Back in 2009 the club set up its first rugby school and in 2014 the juniors won the Cup of France. The club now runs successful youth sides down to under '14's and girls teams.
