FFBAD Top 12: Union Saint-Bruno’s First Win – D6

Pool 1

Sensation in pool 1 with the victory, the first of the season, for Union Saint-Bruno! The Bordeaux club, promoted to the elite this season, managed to win against Red Star Mulhouse, defending champion, who came to Gironde with a reshuffled squad. A 5-3 victory concluded with the victory of the two mixed doubles.

ASPTT Strasbourg did not fail when it came to finding Rostrenen, its runner-up in the standings, and the only team that managed to catch Strasbourg in the first leg. This time, the suspense will not have happened with an authoritarian victory, 7-1, for Alex LANIER and his partners. Rostrenen saves honor through QI Xuefei in singles.

A defeat for the Bretons which benefits Aire-sur-la-Lys, new second in the group. To do this, the Northerners defeated Aix-en-Provence with a score of 5 to 3. A perfect start to the match for the LVA which locked in the victory before losing in the last two matches, including the abandonment of Louis DUCROT in the men’s singles.

In the ranking, Strasbourg remains first with 28 points. Aire-sur-la-Lys is the new second with 22 points while Rostrenen slips to third with 20 points. Aix-en-Provence and Mulhouse (16 points) are tied ahead of Saint-Bruno, last, with 11 points after its first victory.

Pool 2

As leader, Fos-sur-Mer will not have gone far from perfection against Caen in this duel of extremes. If the VILLEGER/CHRETIEN mix will have achieved a victory in three sets, all of the other clashes leave no room for uncertainty. Caen saves honor through Weronika GORNIAK. 7-1 victory for the BCF.

The hellish pace continues for Saint-Maur-des-Fossés which clings to its second place. Facing the promoted Flume Ille Badminton, the Ile-de-France club quickly validated the victory of the meeting, notably through the young Mady SOW against Erwin KEHLHOFFNER in a clash of generations. Final victory 6 to 2 for the VSSM.

Perfect meeting for Chambly this afternoon during the Racing Club de France reception. A victory with a score of 8 to 0, which allows the BCCO to pocket a very precious offensive bonus point. Despite two matches played in three sets, the uncertainty was short-lived.

In the ranking, Fos-sur-Mer is first with 31 points, ahead of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés and Chambly (27 points). Flume Ille is fourth with 14 points ahead of Racing Club de France with 12 points. Caen is last with four points.
