L’or pour Talon – Candelon

The 26 entrants came from the four clubs that took part in the competition: the premises of ASPTT Albi, Ping-Saint Paulais, Castres TT and TT Pays Gaillacois. The format was as follows: each player played a single and in the event of a tie the teams decided with a double.
In the 13-year-old category, the locals of ASPTT Albi were full of success with a clear round on the podium: the favorite pair Talon – Candelon logically took the gold medal, followed by the pair Le Bot – Charrière , Hourcastagnou and Miailhe take the bronze medal.
Wayon – Goodness retain their title
In the 11-year-old category, it was the Gaillac pair Wyon – Bonté who retained their title thanks to a snatch victory against the Saint-Paulaise pair Zenatti – Berthier in a very tight final, two beautiful singles and a very dispute. On the third step of the podium is the Albi-Gaillac agreement with a bronze medal for the pair Carrère – Doudement Ithamar.
