Round 25 of 2022/23 Ligue A, the penultimate Round, started today with an exciting big match for third place in the standings between Chaumont and Tourcoing.
To celebrate are the hosts, who closed the game in just three sets in front of more than 1200 home fans, partially 25:18, 25:19 and 25:23.
The guys around italian expert Silvano Prandi basically managed to keep control of all the game, with the only exception of the final part of third set in which they wasted a 21-19, and Tourcoing tried a desperate last attempt to reopen a clash that turned to be one-sided.
Better in almost all elements, the winners were led in score by Czech Patrick Indra, who ended the game as top scorer with 19 points to his name through 74%, including 2 winning blocks. He was, together with Canadian Ryley Barnes (13 points, 2 aces, 1 block and 50% in attack with Tourcoing’s jersey) the only player of the match in double digit!

Tomorrow the others, while on Sunday the game between Narbonne (who still aim a good position for playoffs) and Paris (at ninth place, and already out) will close this penultimate Round.
