Tours went to eliminate in his room Montpellier, first of the regular season on Monday during the support match of the semi-finals (3-2), unbreathable, to qualify for the final of the French volleyball championship, where he will face Poitiers in a poster that smells good in 2010.
The two clubs, opposed on May 10 and 17 in a round-trip format, had thus faced each other two years in a row in the final, in 2011 and 2012, for an assessment of a victory each.
It was the second and last title of the Poitevin stadium (2011), which will file for bankruptcy in 2012 to find the final until this year, letting the TVB run (nine titles in all).
If Poitiers (6th in the regular season) eliminated in two dry rounds (3-1 and 3-0) Chaumont, the fourth of the regular season had to draw on his resources to rule out Montpellier (2-1), defeated twice at home.
-The first easily (3-0), the second Monday by systematically returning to the score (23-25, 29-27, 19-25, 25-22, 15-13), then filling, during the tie-break, twice a delay of two points (6-8, 8-10).
The Tourangeaux has long suffered against the counter Héraultais (13 pts) but came out thanks to the service of their Brazilian receptionist-attacker Leandor Nascimento and the entry into the game of another Brazilian, the Central Guilherme Voss (10 pts), as well as the Hungarian Roland Gergye (11 pts).
The first made three decisive winners at the end of the fourth set (from 19-19 to 22-19) while the second (11 pts) notably scored three points, including a crucial counter (which allowed Tours to return to 10-10) in the tie-break.
And it was on a new against Alexandre Strehlau, put on the ground after being released by Marcelo Fronckowiak because of a jagged game, that the TVB was snatched its fourth finale in a row.
