No defeat, barely two sets conceded. This means that the meeting at the Racing Club de France, at the opening of this Top 12 season, at the end of September, was a formality for Chambly. The first confrontation of 2026 marks the start of the return phase of the championship. And so it’s the turn of Parisians to travel to the Oise, this Saturday, January 17.
For an equally comfortable victory for the locals in their den? Not so sure. Several Camblysiens who took part in this inaugural triumph are playing tournaments on the BWF world circuit this week or the one to come: Dephine Delrue in India with her partner Thom Gicquel, just like Michelle Li, Enogat Roy in Sweden and the pair Léo Rossi – Eloi Adam in Indonesia.
« We should win but we still have to be careful and serious because I think they will be stronger than the first leg unlike us », Warns the president of the BCCO, Patrice Lannoy. Success is imperative otherwise there is a risk of falling too far behind Fos-sur-Mer and Saint-Maur and seriously compromising the chances of qualifying for the semi-finals.
CHAMBLY – RACING CLUB OF FRANCE
This Saturday, January 17 in Chambly, 4 p.m. at the Marie-Amélie-le-Fur sports complex
