Tourcoing knocks out champion Saint-Nazaire and consolidates its leadership position in Marmara Spikeligue
Sète overthrows Toulouse despite Nathan Feral's 30 points
Tours, recovering from its horrible start to the season, won in Nice (1-3: 22, 25-11, 21-25, 13-25) in the wake of Hermans Egleskalns (20 pts). A week after its heartbreaking setback against Saint-Nazaire (14-16 victory in the tie-break in 2h10), Sète inflicted the same penalty on Toulouse, winning after 2h31 of play after being led 2 sets to 0 (2-3: 25-22, 25-18, 23-25, 23-25, 12-15). The huge match from the young sharp 21-year-old Nathan Feral (30 pts at 26/43 attacks, 2 aces, 2 blocks) was not enough for the Spacer's. In a hotly contested duel between the last two in the ranking, Narbonne and Casey Schouten (23/36 attacks) made Plessis-Robinson plunge again, more than ever in the red lantern (3-1: 25-27, 25-17, 25- 23, 26-24).
