"It's not handball, it’s wrestling!" This cry from the heart of Antoine Soulier, in the 44th minute, says a lot about the harshness of the clash between Gardoises and Varoises, this Saturday evening in Pablo. The Toulon reservists (the first plays in D1) have often been at the limit. In duels and in scoring. They ended up exploding, again – 2 with a quarter of an hour to go, at – 10 to the mermaid.

Charline Roelandt evacuated injured by firefighters

Speaking of the siren, the fire siren unfortunately sounded, the match being interrupted 25 minutes just before its end. Time to evacuate Charline Roelandt, who had fallen on her back and could no longer get up. We hope it goes well… The player came out on a stretcher, to applause and a guard of honor from both teams.

Brun and Renault, efficient, fueled the lead in the first half, before Hantz took over in the second. Nîm’arguerittes escaped before half-time (13-7, 24th), and therefore had to make a comeback in the final moments.

Antoine Soulier, coach: "This tough match will serve us"

"We have the impression of being only +1 the whole game, while we are always ahead, and sometimes by a lot, analyzed Antoine Soulier, the coach of winners and leaders. We feel a little pressure (to go up) even though we have the solutions and the quality of play. But this tough match will help us prepare for the next clashes against our direct opponents."< /p>
