2 min read
All matches of Playdowns Round 3 were played today.
In first match of the day, great comeback of Toulouse from 2-0 on the field of playdown leaders Plessis Robinson (25:21, 30:28, 20:25, 23:25, 16:18). For the hosts were not enough a perfect Rebeyrol, author of 30 points (3 winning blocks, 3 aces and an impressive 80% in attack with only one error and 0 blocked), and a super performance in blocking, with 19 points from this element (9 by Henry). Among the winners, Daniel Cagliari was the most prolific player with 29 points, 3 aces, 1 block and 58% in attack.
Cambrai have something to celebrate today, as they defeated Cannes in four sets (25:17, 25:18, 24:26, 25:20) in direct clash for stay in French top division. Despite two wins in a row, both in five sets, nothing to do for Cannes who now lies at -7 from Cambrai themselves.
Close the picture first victory of Nantes in this part of competition after two heavy defeats in first two round. To succumb in four sets (24:26, 31:29, 25:19, 33:31) is Poitiers, in a very balanced match uncertain from start to finish. To make the difference were an impressive performance in blocking, with 16 winning blocks (9 from middle-blocker Petrus Montes) and a great Adam BartoÅ”, top scorer of the match with 20 points, 63% in attack, 1 block and 47% positive reception.
With this victory, the winners regain 2nd place in competition’s charts behind Plessis Robinson.
