US Argenton : 4
CES Rounds: 4
Between two teams tied before the game, we expected a close match. We were not disappointed: “The meeting was rich in emotions, confided Loïc Souchaud, captain of US Argenton. The simple between Xavier-Guillaume Valledor and Bastien Delaval, for example, lasted more than seventy minutes… » With at the end of the suspense a Touraine success.
The meeting got off to a flying start for Argenton, with the victory of Valentin Crochet-Moulin after three intense sets against Poirier (21-14, 17-21, 21-18).
For this last match of 2024, the public was quick to provide unfailing support for Clara Raffin who pocketed a second point for the locals by largely dominating Justine Rattier (21-12, 21-5).
The Argentonnais, however, did not celebrate afterwards, losing in the four other matches, two in singles, two in doubles.
It was efficient mixed doubles (Valentin Crochet-Moulin/Maelle Calvagnac; Clara Raffin/Xavier-Guillaume Valledor) who saved the Berrichons who had to fight to get a draw.
“We will come back stronger at the end of January for the rest of the season with a trip to Clermont-Ferrand (3e) »concluded Loïc Souchaud.
