On Tuesday, December 9, as part of the Interclub-Leisure badminton tournaments, the Volant Vicois, Vic club, welcomed the Condom club for an intense and friendly sporting evening. The Vic and Condom clubs know each other well. It is common for players to share their training sessions with each other, thus cultivating a strong sporting friendship. From time to time, with all courtesy and esteem, they become opponents like that day, in Vic, as part of the first leg of the Interclub-Leisure tournaments that they are inaugurating this year with the Gondrin club as an accomplice. As soon as they arrive, the day’s competitors gather for a traditional family photo. The session is quick because everyone is eager to compete on the courts, either in singles (women and men) or in doubles (women, men and mixed) for a program of ten matches. From the outset, Volant Vicois asserted his superiority in singles and took the lead. The doubles followed where the Fous du Volant de Condom recovered and caught up. At the end of the eighth match, the two clubs are tied. The suspense is then at its height. The tension rises after a ninth match which the Condomois win. The last match is very competitive and ends with a score favorable to the guests, who win the tournament. Good players, the Vicois promise that in the return phase, they will take their revenge before inviting them to continue the evening with a friendly drink where the one-night adversaries return to the delights of friendship. We wish them happy holidays.
