After yesterday’s advance, in which Chaumont sweep titleholders Tours in just three sets, Round 5 of 2023/24 Marmara Spike League has been closed today.
Prediction respected in the game between Narbonne and Tourcoing.
The hosts, the only team still winless after 5 games, suffered a 0-3 (22:25, 15:25, 24:26) home win against the current leaders, who now boast 15 points in the standings, with 2 more points than their pursuers Nantes and Chaumont.
Without Ryley Barnes, Pablo Koukartsev and Gonzalo Quiroga scored 14 and 10 points respectively for the winners.
Also Nantes, second in the current charts with 13 points, also celebrated a straight sets win against second-to-last Nice, partially 25:10, 26:24 and 25:17, who played without German opposite Simon Hirsch (replaced by Luis Paolinetti, top scorer for the losing side with 13 points but with only 35% in attack, followed by François Rebeyrol with 12). For the winners, better in all elements, Chizoba Neves Atu scored 24 points in just three sets with 59% in attack, 1 block and 1 ace.
No problems for Plessis Robinson, who literally destroyed Saint Nazaire in a clean 3-0 (25:18, 25:16, 25:20) with a great 64% in attack and 20 points from Samuel Jeanlys (68% in attack and 3 winning blocks), and the same did Montpellier, who won in just one hour and 16 minutes on the field of newcomers Saint-Jean d’Illac, 0-3 (16:25, 17:25, 17:25), with a amazing performance of Dimitar Dimitrov, top scorer with 21 points to his name through 79% in attack (11/14 and one error), 3 winning blocks and as many as 7 of his team’s 11 aces.
Straight sets win also for Touluse, on the field of Poitiers – 0-3 (21:25, 25:27, 14:25) with 10 winning blocks (to 10), 65% of team performance in attack (to 47%) and four players in double digit: Julien Winkelmuller, top scorer with 14 points to his name (68% in attack and 1 block) Tom Picard (13), Maxime Hervoir (12) and Florian Krage (11 points, 75% in attack, 3 winning blocks and 2 aces).
Close the picture the tie break win of Paris on the field of Sète – 2-3 (25:22, 19:25, 18:25, 25:18, 11:15), despite the 26 points from top scorer Celestin Cardin (62% in attack and 1 block). The winners, with 20 points from Japanese Kento Miyaura (4 aces and 47% in attack) and 9 winning blocks from Joachim Panou, who played a great game with 16 points to his name through 70% in attack.
Ligue A will continue on Tuesday with the first 6 games of Round 6 (that will be closed on Wednesday with the postponement between Montpellier and Plessis Robinson).
