Tournament Flame 56 the Elves

The residents of the Dinard hopefuls pole fought a huge fight against the Rennais David Gallien (Rec 35) and Benjamin Venisse (Guichen Bourg des Comptes). The duration of the meeting speaks for itself: 74 minutes! This made it the longest match of the tournament. The first set had set the tone with 46 points (24-22 for Delabrosse and Bellot). The second had turned to the advantage of Rennes (20-22) before an unbreathable decisive set. The latter obtained the first two game steering wheels at 18-20. But their opponents saved them… Then saved three others a few minutes later before finally winning 27-25. “We were led each time in the three sets, summed up Martin Bellot. Frankly, it was no longer in the legs. They, like us, were dead. It was played in the mind. There was no need for another game afterwards! »

“74 minutes is huge”

The Quimperlois Delabrosse was satisfied to win after a difficult day on Saturday (two defeats). Especially in view of the scenario: “It has already happened to us to play long matches. But there, the exchanges were really very disputed. More than 60 minutes is already a lot. But 74 is huge. There were no more tactics. You sent the steering wheel back and with a bit of luck they made the mistake! “, underlined the Quimperlois, who will play a tournament in Amsterdam in a fortnight. For Martin Bellot, it will be the Brittany championships at the beginning of March before the U19 tournament in Voiron.
