At the end of this famous day, everyone's fate will not be sealed “officially” but it could well be sealed unofficially. And in this case, several Loire-Atlantique teams are strongly advised not to miss out otherwise they will have to regret it during the last two days.
Traveling to the red lantern, Saint-Quentin (8th), the Sébastiennais (7th) have the opportunity to get closer in the ranking to Proville and Cugnaux/Villeneuve (4th), two opponents whom they will then have to play, otherwise a fifth defeat would condemn them to join the N2. For Nantes TT, undefeated leader of its N1 group, this is a great opportunity to validate its presence in N1A for the second phase in Angers (3rd).
At the lower level, Nantes Saint-Médard continues its long-distance duel with the Rouen reserve. However, Cesson – with its leader Aurélien Pasquettte (n° 215) – is able to become a stone in the shoes of the Doulonnais. A scenario which will also present itself during the sixth day with the reception of Lille. It would therefore be welcome not to burn out your joker today, in order to hope for a final for the climb during the final meeting.

It is always in N3 that the pressure is the strongest because a descent is synonymous with leaving the national scene. And, for our representatives of “44”, the maintenance mission also achieved good results this afternoon. The Doulonnaise reserve still has its destiny in hand but receives a direct candidate. It's up to her to maintain control of her future! For Sainte-Pazanne, the meeting at Cestas would resemble a cleaver match. After the tight draw against Angers, a victory on Gironde soil could be enough to maintain the team, provided that logic is respected during the last two days. The horizon is clearer for Nantes Saint-Jo at the top of its group. The reception of Caen can prove tricky against a homogeneous team but Noah Tessier's partners leave with the favors of the forecasts.
On the women's side, the Entente must continue to do the work to compete in the final against Béthune on the last day while Nantes TT must achieve its first success in Thiais. Finally, a defeat for the Doulonnaise reserve in Mayenne would probably result in relegation.
