After the defeat in Vesoul (31-32), Metz Handball struggled against Tremblay (11-16 at the break) but ended up snatching the draw thirty seconds from the buzzer thanks to its captain Guillaume Bettenfeld (29-29 ). If the Messins gain a rank in the standings (sixth), they see the first places move away. After six consecutive successes,
Folschviller had a setback against Vesoul, who won easily in Moselle (12-16 at the break, 28-33 in the end). “However, it’s my birthday, the players gave me a gift at the end of the match, but it wasn’t the right one”, joked coach Pierrick Perignon anyway. “We honestly didn’t make the weight. But not because our opponents were better than us. Because we haven’t developed our handball. We did not have our values in defense and we confirmed our limits in attack. The event was perhaps too big for us, we didn’t get up to speed. Both now have three weeks ahead of them to work before getting off to a good start.

After the good performance against Saint-Mandé sanctioned by a prestigious victory (28-24), the P2H suffered more at the start of the match in Aubervilliers before putting the machine back in the right direction for a logical success (32-37). “We had a difficult start to the match by not respecting the instructions too much,” admitted coach Yann Farnier. “But then, physically, we were pretty good and we performed quite well, like Janysek, Sendel and Gremaux. We are still on the podium. As much as I feel Thionville is well armed, I find Saint-Mandé less solid. Even if it will be complicated, you will have to win everything to eventually grab second place and the jump-offs for the climb. »
