C’Chartres MHB wins its first warm-up match

Chartres takes the lead

Because if Ivry remains a historic bastion of French handball (eight French championship titles between 1963 and 2007), the team coached by Sébastien Quintallet, freshly promoted to Starligue, like his opponent three years earlier, obviously no longer has the same arguments to put forward.

She quickly noticed it when from 4-2 (10′), the score quickly went to 4-9 (16′). More powerful, more impactful, the visitors, in the wake of Vanja Ilic (9/11), started a solo which quickly led them to the break with a consequent advantage of ten goals (11-21).

Except that, as often last season, the Chartrains, dressed in red for the occasion, allowed their hosts to come closer together on their return from the locker room (25-29, 46 ‘) “We achieved a very good first half time. Defensively first. But also offensively since we scored 21 goals. In the second half, it was more difficult but that’s quite normal because we tried different things, different systems. The little thing that bothers me is the multiplication of bullet losses. But overall, I’m satisfied,” observed Toni Gerona, the CCMHB coach who offered himself the luxury of a large turnover in his squad for 60 minutes (including his three goalkeepers, to be credited with a time of equivalent game: Meyer, Radic and Grahovac).

Chartres gets the ball rolling

With victory at the end of the road despite a big week of hard work (31-35, 37′), President Baron’s men could be content to “manage” at the end of the game (33-37) and already turn to the next stage of their preparation: the match to be played tomorrow against Toulouse (Starligue), in Limoges.
