We will still have to wait to see C’Chartres Volley win at home. Facing the group leader, LISSP Calais, Chartres showed courage, but failed to capsize a solid northern team. If the CCV did not take on water, the gap between the promoted team and an experienced group, which will seek to rise this season, was large.
Kadu’s protégés paid the price for the Calais experience from the first set, losing 19-25. If the point guard from Saint-Pierre Calais, Donovan Teavae, was not very brilliant, the visitors were, on the other hand, exemplary in the block.
Regrets in the third set
If the second set was more tight, and the CCV did what it could to stay in contact (5-5, 9-13, 20-21), Takaniko and his team accelerated as soon as he needed to win the round 22-25 (0-2).
Chartres will want to confirm their late start against Calais this Sunday
It is the content of the third set that will have to be remembered for Chartres. Hugo Possamaï regained his efficiency at the net, well served by Romain Totele, author of a good match.
Chartres even took the advantage for a good part of the set (17-14, 19-16 and 22-17). But LISSP Calais once again gave the necessary push at the right time to turn the tide and win 25-23 (0-3).
