The Montluçon speed-ball club pays tribute to its former president, who died on January 11, 2021, by organizing the Michel Surleau challenge, at the Guineberts gymnasium, in Montluçon (Allier), Saturday January 21 and Sunday January 22.
“We would have liked to organize it last year but health constraints did not allow us to do so”
Patrick Tauveron (president of the Speed-ball club Montluçon)
The arrival of clubs prevented by weather conditions
In addition to Montluçonnais athletes, members of the clubs of Cramont (Somme) and Montauban (Tarn-et-Garonne) take part in the event.
“The weather conditions did not allow most clubs to come. In Montluçon too, we have patients who were unable to participate”

Super-solos and one-on-ones
About twenty participants, men and women, aged 11 to 65, compete in different events in an extremely friendly atmosphere that did not prevent the seriousness during the effort.
The super-solos where the sportsman must make the greatest number of strikes took place on Saturday January 21, before the group matches in one against one.
These hens continue on Sunday January 22, before a tribute to Michel Surleau in the presence of his widow and his son, at 11:30 a.m.
