Four matches of Round 8 of French Ligue A were played last night.
Narbonne, without Zanotti replaced by Bouguerra (13 points, 2 aces, 36% in attack and 2 of his team’s 14 winning blocks), defeated Paris (without Lawani, injured, and Kujundzic fielded as opposite, and Nikola Kovacevic outside-hitter)
in four sets.
Either way, the winners now sits temporarily to the top of the standings, also thanks to the great performance of middle-blocker Zerba, author of 21 points, 73% in attack and 5 blocks.
Home victory (and finally a victory) also for Tourcoing, in derby against Cambrai. Middle-blocker Bultor (MVP of the match with 16 punti, 71% in attack, 2 blocks e 2 aces) and Vaccari (back to the sextet, he closed the match with 15 points, 54% in attack and 38% efficiency) give a good imput to the hosts, who took advantage also to Tupchii’s injury. Cambrai’s starting opposite leaves the field on 15:15 of second set.
Away victories, also in four sets, on the other matches of the day: 1-3 for Narbonne, on the field
of Nice (MVP of the match Karlitzek, author of 19 points including 5 aces), and 1-3 also for Nantes on the field of Toulouse, with Davy who won derby of brazilian opposites (20 points, 2 blocks and 62% in attack, vs. 13 points and 48% in attack by Daniel Cagliari), and a very good Huetz, on the field in place of absent Petrus Montes and author of 15 points with 75% in attack and 3 blocks.
