After having lost all hope of first place in Group B in three days, with the draw at Villiers-le-Bel, then the defeat at home against Cormontreuil, the Entente Yonnaise drew the curtain of Pro A yesterday , on a victory for honor against TC Boulogne-Billancourt, in Hauts-de-Seine. A second success this season which will have no impact on the ranking, the Vendéennes having already been assured of maintaining their position for two days.
However, the Yonnaises wanted to get in shape for this very last match. “Second is better than fourth and finishing on a good note too », appreciated Captain Mathieu Haincourt. However, things are not looking good for the Vendée women, who have gone to Paris without any sporting issues. Especially against a team from TC Boulogne-Billancourt who could still hope to steal first place in Pool B from their Ile-de-France neighbors from Villiers-le-Bel.

In the No. 1 match against Clara Burel, Francilienne Alice Ramé injured her knee and had to retire. She was also forfeited for the doubles. Which revived the Entente Yonnaise, before the last double (2-3). The Burel-Kempen duo then took charge of finishing the job, in two dry sets, against the Boulonnaises who could no longer snatch first place.
