Nantes wins in Chambéry, Saran and Toulouse winners in Liqui Moly Starligue
The top-of-the-table duel of the 17th day of Liqui Moly Starligue between Chambéry and Nantes on Friday evening smiled on the latter, wide winners (32-25). After a suspended first half (15-17, 30th), the H of the tricolor international Aymeric Minne (6 goals) frankly accelerated (15-10 in the second half) in order to seek a third consecutive victory in the Championship, and thus confirm his runner-up status (27 points), behind PSG, still undefeated. Chambéry is seventh, with a barely balanced record (9 wins, 7 losses, 18 points).
In the two other meetings on the evening’s program – the part between Saint-Raphaël and Istres having been postponed due to the Covid cluster within the workforce of the Provençal club – Saran Loiret easily won at Chartes (30-23 ), which is worth to the winner to relaunch in the race to maintain with a fourth victory in the Championship, although Istres, which has two games less, displays the same number of points.
Finally, Toulouse, carried by Nemanja Ilic (6 goals), won at home against Dunkirk (26-23) and thus occupies fourth place in the general classification. The Fenix have not lost for ten games in the Starligue.
