Round 8 of 2023/24 Marmara Spike League has been closed today with the big match between one of current leadership contender Nantes and defending champions and Supercup winners Tours, although their start was not the best. In fact, they are relegated only at 11th place in the standings with 7 points with only two victories including the one against Poitiers celebrated a week ago.
Today’s game ended after a marathon lasted five sets (18:25, 25:22, 20:25, 25:19, 15:13) and 2 hours and 19 minutes of play, with Chizoba Neves Atu top scorer with 21 points.
In a game with lot of error in both sides, Tours were better in blocking scoring 13 points from this element (compared to the winners’ 7), but they were penalized by 26 errors from the service line, more than a set!
