Challenge of France M18 (F)
In Saint-Amand-les-Eaux
But what a year for the Pont-à-Mousson club chaired by Omar El Ouali! The VBB PAM was thus further distinguished in the various young French cups. Thus, the M18 boys and the M15 girls were eliminated in the 7th and 8th rounds respectively, that is to say at the doors of the final phases of the competition. Better than that, the M11 and M18 Girls have stabbed their ticket for the final tournament.
So many results that acclaim the quality of the Mussipontain club training policy. It only remains to win the supreme title for happiness to be complete. “Without lacking respect for the qualified teams, this is indeed what we hope to do,” says Jérôme Hanegreefs, the M18 coach who hit the road this Thursday for Saint-Amand-les-Eaux in order to participate in the epilogue of the Challenge de France.
-“This competition was created this season by the FFVB this season because there were many teams engaged in the French M18 Cup. Also, during the first two laps, the two training courses classified in the last two places of each triangular were donated in this event. ” At the start, he was not with the intention of the VBB PAM to take this path. But during the 2nd round, Jérôme Hanegreefs unfortunately made a mistake on the match sheet by sleeping too many mutated players. “I assume this error and I am necessarily a little disappointed for the girls who had won the right to participate in the 3rd round. Now, I do not know if we could have, as two years ago, qualify for the final stages of this event because my workforce has been rejuvenated. ”
Indeed, the M18 collective welcomed this season Chloé Rasi and Louise Super Bourge which only have 14 spring as well as Kéziah Millot (15 years old). In any case, during this campaign in this challenge of France, the VBB PAM did not do in half-measures by winning all the triangular and by conceding only one salt (facing Beauvais). “Once again without being pretentious, we are now clearly identified as the team to beat in this tournament,” insists Jérôme Hanegreefs. “We will have to assume this favorite status. Suffice to say that I have warned my group that it will be necessary to do their maximum to avoid competing for the slightest tie-break because I do not want to play the victory at stack or face (note: the meetings are played in two winning sets) ”.
