Merlin enchanted Aveyron – ladepeche.fr

Five years to the day after Aurélie Bories’ women’s head-to-head coronation in Béziers, Aveyron returned to the title of champion of Occitanie, this Sunday in Revel. Some sixty regional championships later (due to Covid, they were canceled in 2020, Editor’s note), it was again the Creissellois who raised the red and yellow colors to the highest step of the podium, the juniors Mathis Merlin, Noah Breton and Lorenzo Debard.

Eight games, eight victories, nine points conceded between the round of 16 and the final, including six to Primaubois Inès Viala, Mattélo Lopez and Louhan Cabal, already dominated in the final of the Aveyron championship three weeks ago in Laissac: the three Sud-Aveyronnais flew over the competition as befits Noah Breton, bronze medalist at the recent world championship in Thailand. With this success, he and his “old friend” Lorenzo Debard repaired an anomaly as this regional title seemed promised to them. With the contribution, this winter, of Mathis Merlin… the enchanter, they have signed the department-region double. The other qualification for the French championships won by the Primaubois of Inès Viala, for their place as quarter-finalists, completes the table on the Aveyron side, or even completely restores it, a week after a disappointing first session of the championships. Occitania in Marvejols. It is a shame that the cadets of Mazars and especially the juniors of Bou, also promised a national destiny, were not able to imitate their elders. Ditto for the Promotion where with a team in two group exits, the Rouergats are once again to be considered discreet, in line with the Aveyron seniors this year.
