The fifth edition of the Women’s Series of Poitiers is launched. And well launched. The favorites were notably present at Place du Maréchal-Leclerc this Tuesday. Starting with the Germans who, in Pool A, started their tournament with a demonstration against Bordeaux Ballistik (21-7) before playing against the Hungarians of Györ (17-10) and following up with a final success, playing without Marie Reichert, against Ukraine (19-15), in the wake of an impressive Sonja Greinacher (22 points and 23 rebounds in three games).
In Pool B, Spain also achieved a flawless performance. But before crushing Ireland (21-7), Gala Mestres and its partners had to work against China U24 (13-9) and especially against the Netherlands, in the shock of the day, in showing themselves solid in the last minute to maintain their short advantage (16-14).
The Spanish and Germans will therefore meet in the semi-finals this Thursday. The former could face Ukraine or China U24 while the latter will have to face either the Netherlands or Bordeaux Ballistik who won the necessary match against Györ (20-17) to compete in the quarter-finals .
