France: Round 12 is over - 3 points for Tours, Poitiers, Nice, Montpellier and Sète

After the advance played yesterday, in which Toulouse down Cannes in four sets, Round 12 of 2024/25 Marmara Spike League has been completed today, and not without upsets.
To the top Tourcoing with 28 points, who had a dayoff today, followed by Poitiers, with 23, who down last-placed Plessis Robinson with the score of 3-1 (20:24, 26:24, 25:21, 25:22), led in score by Earvin Ngapeth in what was one of his last game with the club. The MVP of Olympic Games in Paris scored 23 points including 2 aces, 2 blocks and 49% in attack in front of more than 2000 home fans.
In the standings, Poitiers is closely followed by Montpellier, who today trampled over Saint Nazaire on the road with a clean 0-3 (14:25, 16:25, 20:25) with 64% of team performance in attack and 18 points from top scorer Dimitar Dimitrov, and Chaumont, both with 22 points, defeated today at home against a great Nice, 1-3 (25:17, 23:25, 16:20, 20:25). To make the difference, in addition to an excellent performance in blocking, scoring 15 points from this element compared to the hosts’ only 4 but, above all, a stunning performance from German opposite Simon Hirsch, absolute top scorer of the match (on this Round and probably more), with as many as 36 points to his name through 57% in attack, 6 blocks and 4 aces!
Four sets win also for on the road for Tours, 1-3 (14:25, 19:25, 25:23, 18:25) on the field of Paris, in what was their fifth success in a row counting all competition, with 20 points from top scorer Hermans Egleskalns (1 ace and 49% in attack), and for Sète, who won on the field of Narbonne by 1-3 (25:22, 22:25, 23:25, 20:25) too, with 27 points from an almost perfect Celestin Cardin (76% in attack also seasoned by 1 ace and 1 block).
Marmara Spike League will continue already on Tuesday with all games of Round 13.
