Hugo slept with his medal
And the young man and his companions did not make the trip for nothing. The Oeudeghien player, in pelota ball, returned with the most beautiful medal around his neck. “He even slept with and with his ball alsosmiled Eric. Friday, in U9 doubles, he had two victories and two defeats. There was a little stress at home. It makes sense. He was particularly surprised that we were playing on brick walls. Which changes things when a ball hits a joint, for example. It went much better in U11 where he won gold with three wins and one loss. Each time with a different partner. We really feel a big progression in him since he was at Killshot. On the way back, he was already asking me where he could play the next tournament. He absolutely loved the experience. He was always with the ball in his hand. Between matches he played with everyone. He was a bit like the mascot of the tournament.“.
Much more accustomed to this type of event, Eloïse Clément was the only other regional representative to represent the colors of Huissignies. His talent no longer needs to be demonstrated. She proved it once again by having an almost perfect weekend. ” Sébastien Potiez, who couldn’t come this time, asked me to follow her because she is used to having someone in her corner. She had an almost perfect competition. In U15 singles, she crushed the competition. She had no difficulty winning gold. It was almost the same in the U17 category. She only lost the first match against a Dutchwoman who did not suit her. Fortunately, the latter lost later in the table.
The next day, in doubles, she finished first among the U15s. In U17, she lost in the group stage against the famous local and her partner. Her English teammate seemed a little tired. There were quite a few mistakes (15-5). We found the same match in the final. It was much better, despite a bad start (2-6). It was 8-8 at one point, before ending in a 15-10 loss. But the results remain excellent. Eloïse only aimed for gold in singles. She leaves with one more medal and a second place. She displayed an excellent level of play. Both in terms of technique and power.“.
At this rate, the Clément family will have to build a few additional cabinets to display all the trophies won by the whole family.
