The physical and technical superiority of Toulouse, whose best elements play in the French U18 championship, was obvious. But they took a long time to demonstrate it, unable to find a defense to stop the Bigourdan captain Sarres (32 points, including 5 3-point baskets) or even prevent him from distributing assists.
It was only after leaving the field crippled with cramps (35th) that the Toulousains were able to exceed the 20 points in advance and impose their collective (6 players between 8 and 16 points) with a special mention to Thibaud, for his good third quarter, and Bonne-Tirolien.
(23-16, 23-23, 20-14, 20-11). Half-time: 46-39; referees: Mmes. Céline Ballesta and Sarah Dessaint; 400 spectators.
