Dunkirk signed a third consecutive victory (32-28) in Starligue Friday against Limoges, while Fénix de Toulouse won a narrow victory (30-29) against Créteil.
Despite a good comeback in the second half, the promoted Limougeaud failed to catch up with the -8 recorded at the break (19-11), due in particular to the 9 saves (12 in total) of the northern goalkeeper Samir Bellahcene. Limoges (2nd), which suffers its third defeat of the season, remains five points behind Paris SG, whose match against Chartres scheduled for Saturday has been postponed. Dunkirk provisionally climbs to fourth position, tied with Nantes and in front of Montpellier.
In the other meeting on Friday, Fenix de Toulouse won by one point against Créteil, with 8 goals from Norwegian pivot Henrik Jakobsen.
