In Promotion, the PVTM defeated La Louvière, undefeated until then (3-0). “A performance that will remain in the memories of supporters. All the players are to be congratulated.”rejoices Jérôme Hermand, a screaming coach who we have rarely seen so happy. In the same series, Skill also succeeded against Nalinnes, the red lantern (3-0). “It’s the kind of trap match par excellence. Thanks to Rémy Hautem for shaking up the group in the third set and to Corentin Vleminckx, our passer, focused all the time, as well as to Simon Dussart, efficient at the net “, underlines Victor Lefebvre.
In P1, OTT was beaten by Saint-Luc Mons (0-3). “They were superior to us almost everywhere, especially at the net where, apart from Dimitri Lermitte, the attackers had a lot of difficulty scoring their points“, recognizes Nicolas Anrys. In the same series, also defeat of PVTM in Jurbise (3-1). “We came across a super high four attacker who did what he wantedspecifies Pierre Cottignies. Despite that, we had a good match. I’m even a little frustrated because I think that given the third and fourth sets, we deserved to come back with a point“.
Still in P1, Skill logically lost against Fleurus, an opponent better ranked than him (1-3). “We lose against stronger than usadmits Léon-Philippe Leturcq. But without demerit. Let’s not forget that we are still playing without Tim François and without Lucas Clippe. We therefore experienced some problems at the center and at reception. But we continue to progress. As proof, I want this second set that we ended up winning down to the wire thanks to our mentalityl”.
Finally, still in the same series, the Pays des Collines was not satisfied with the union minimum but imposed itself in style in Charleroi, the red lantern (0-3). “The danger was to take the easy route and start giving points to the opponent by committing unforced errors. That was not the case. Everyone remained very focused. Which allowed to Sébastien Baudry to often serve the centrals Erwan Aubert especially, who showed an impressive striking force, even on the assists of their wingers.“, welcomes François Baveye.
For the ladies: The PVTM and the VPC performed well this weekend
In Promotion, the PVTM gave itself a little breathing room by winning at BEVC, the red lantern (1-3). “We are indeed doing a great operationadmits Emmanuel Hagnere. Beyond the three points, it was the warrior attitude of all the players that pleased mer”.
In the same series, a very valuable success also for the VPC which hosted Sporta Brussels (3-2). “That it wasr, signale Florian Herbiniat. Trailing two sets to one, the girls fortunately remained involved until the end. A big thank you in any case to the supporters, who helped us in the tie-break“.
Still in Promotion, however, the expected clash between Basècles and Lessines came to an end. With a clear deserved victory for Lessinois, who only hung on at the start of the match (0-3). “Lessines clearly won the service-reception battle thanks to their libero Sarah Comeyneanalyzes Yves Lefebvre. This allowed them to pass through the center very often. Too bad we missed six serves in the first set, by far the most contested. Afterwards, Lessines was sufficiently combative to master the next two“.
As for the P1 of the Collinard club, it suffered the law of OTT (0-3). “However, we had a good start and then, nothing more“, regrets Véronique Boelen, who still gave playing time to Marie Avaert and Zélia Crucq, two hopefuls of the club. “We atomized them in the servicewelcomes his Tournais counterpart, Laurie Gofette. “Especially Gaëlle Delplanque in the second set. Even though it was easy, I didn’t move anyone up to third because I wasn’t too happy with the reserve match.”.
Still in P1, Basècles was logically beaten by Nalinnes, the current leader. “Opposite, there are experienced players who calmed the game down when necessary.explains Thomas Dieu. Which is not the case with us. I am still looking for a mental leader who could help the group, especially from a defensive point of view. Afterwards, we never had the pretension of playing for the title“.
Finally, still in the same series, Enghien continues to eat his black bread. The training of Charline Couppez was indeed no match for Masnuy (0-3). “We got busted“, recognizes the latter, who especially deplores the lack of character and pride of her group.
