Handball. Caen resists then cracks in front of Cyril Dumoulin and Tremblay
Through Aline Chatel

Cyril Dumoulin got the better of Caen Handball. The former French international, world champion in 2015, won the Vikings on Friday, November 12, 2021 in the Proligue. Its 18 parades extinguished Caen’s ambitions, which were nevertheless well established. Despite this formidable bulwark, still in the France team two years earlier, Caen hung on for a little over 45 minutes.
