Big hit by Théo Faure and Stephen Boyer in Italy and Poland

Not the same success for Jean Patry

The next evening, further east, another sharp French Olympic champion – in Tokyo, also got the ball rolling: with Rzeszów, Stephen Boyer (1.96 m, 28 years old, 161 caps) scored 30 points ( 26/42 in attack, 2 blocks and 2 aces) in Gdansk, again for a success in the tie-break (21-25, 14-25, 25-18, 25-20, 13-15) and a game MVP award. His team returned to eighth place in PlusLiga (5 wins – 6 losses), before attacking the CEV European Cup (C2) on Wednesday against the Dutch Orion Stars, based in Doetinchem.
