France: Round 22 is over - 3 points for Cannes, Toulouse, Tourcoing, Nice and Poitiers

After the advance played yesterday, in which Chaumont won the big match for first place against Montpellier, Round 22 of 2024/25 Marmara Spike League has been closed today.
At third place, behind Chaumont and Montpellier, Tourcoing, who easily won 3-0 (25:20, 25:21, 25:20) against titleholders but now second-to-last Saint Nazaire. The winners, now with 41 points in the standings and at -1 from second-placed Montpellier, literally blocked their rivals, scoring 14 points from this element (5 only from Amir Tizi Oualou) compared to the rivals’ 5, while Pablo Koukartsev and Ignacio Luengas led the charge with 18 and 10 points, respectively.
3 points and home win also for Cannes, who prevailed over Paris by 3-1 (27:29, 26:24, 25:20, 25:17) after more than two hours of play, with 27 points from an almost unstoppable Timo Beriot (67% in attack with only one error, blocked twice, 2 winning blocks and 1 ace) to confirm themselves at 8th place, at -3 from No.7 Nice, who won also in four sets on the field of Sète, 1-3 (22:25, 25:22, 23:25, 24:26). After two hours and 7 minutes of play, Simon Hirsch and Alexandros Raptis led the charge with 23 and 20 points, respectively, while Tristan Schlienger scored 22 points for the hosts, who continue to struggle this season, remaining at 10th place in the standings.
Three points and away four sets wins also for Toulouse and Poitiers.
The first one won on the field of last-placed Plessis Robinson with the score of 1-3 (18:25, 25:23, 19:25, 19:25), with 14 winning blocks and 22 points from Nathan Feral, while Poitiers celebrated a hard-fought 1-3 (25:23, 20:25, 24:26, 25:27) victory on the field of Narbonne, with 15 points each from Bozidar Vucicevic and Colton Cowell.
