Toulouse flies over the first laps
Tombeur de Moulins as soon as he entered the running, Toulouse put it back in the round of 16 against Pornic. Finalists of the 2019 edition, the Toulousains are in the quarter-finals. They will face Ajaccio, who beat Amiens.
What if Toulouse was ultimately the big favorite of this Trophée des Villes? This is the observation that we can make of Friday in Grande-Synthe. The representatives of Haute-Garonne had dismissed Moulins without suffering in the round of 16. In 8th, they did it again, this time against Pornic. A team from Loire-Atlantique which had found Perpignan as soon as it entered the running.
Pornic was no match
But against Toulouse Pornic at first during the doublets. Two oppositions largely lost by the representatives from Pays de la Loire (13-5 and 13-4). During the triplet, the difference is again colossal: 13-5. It is therefore a new victory by KO for Toulouse which advances to the quarter-finals as the big favorite of the competition.
Ajaccio through a mouse hole
But to go longer, Toulouse will have to get rid of Ajaccio. The Corsicans, already gone through a previous mouse hole, again narrowly avoided elimination. Against Amiens, Ajaccio won the first doublet, before losing the second. During the triplet, Kevin Philipson and his partners managed to win 13-9 and validate their ticket for the quarterfinals. But for the representatives of the Island of Beauty, it will obviously be necessary to raise the level of play a little higher in order to hope to go further.
