But the locals were not at the end of their troubles. François Lodomez scored nine points and Dison-Andrimont was quick to show a twenty-length lead (29-49) against an opponent who had very quickly exhausted his two timeouts in the first half (34-54).
Bonny (eight points) tried to start a comeback after the restart (44-60) but Delrez and his team were careful and left twenty lengths behind (51-71). The visitors’ only concern at the half-hour mark (57-76) lay in the fourth penalties from Touette, Haot and François Lodomez, quickly joined by Delrez who came out for the score at the start of the last act. But Dison-Andrimont kept its host at bay (63-83) and headed straight towards a third essential success in the race to maintain since Union Liège also won.
