Coupe de France Grand Finale will be between regular season leaders Tours and Chaumont.
With an amazing performance from the service line, with even 15 aces (5 from middle-blocker Aracaju, and only 10 error), the guys around coach Fronckowiak literally destroyed Sète on the road, despite once again a concrete Karlitezk (13 points, 71% in attack, 1 block and 2 aces, but this time also 7 errors in reception).
But there is another good new for the winners: the return on the field of Abouba from 13-23 of third set, after a long absence due Achilles’ tendon rupture during a friendly match in early October. And he is also the author of last 2 points, as well as the player who, generoisly, received MVP award.
On the other semifinal, other super favorite Chaumont defeated at home with a triple 25-21 Plessis Robinson, despite lot of errors from the service line (even 18, with only 4 aces), offset by an excellent performance in attack, with 62% of team performance and even 82% for MVP Mergarejo (10 points and 9/11).
