NÎMES The Lebrun brothers enchant Parnassus

The table tennis players received a warm welcome from the Nîmes public and the Nîmes-Montpellier Alliance won 3-2 against Hennebont.

The Hérault table tennis stars performed Thursday evening in Nîmes. In Parnasse, which was not full, but where around 2,000 people had come to attend the French championship match between the Nîmes-Montpellier Alliance (ANMTT) and Hennebont. Far from taking themselves seriously, the ANMTT table tennis players entered dressed as monsters, in reference to Halloween and the sound of Van Halen's “Jump”.

Before the meeting, the Lebrun brothers were honored by Julien Plantier (first assistant) and Nicolas Rainville (sports assistant) who presented them with a City trophy. On the grandstand side, the Parnasse public followed the match with interest and warmly applauded the winning shots of the Nîmes-Montpellier Alliance. The spectators did not come for nothing since the ANMTT won 3-2 against Hennebont in the advanced match of the fourth day of Pro A. As for Félix and Alexis Lebrun, they will return to Parnasse on November 14 for the meeting against -Cercy.
