Great beggining!

The 2nde phase began on 12th January and we won against Cabourg team on the score of 10 to 6 but in the Cabourg team, the players were only 3 of 4 so we won by "tapis vert".
The 2nde match was agains Cherbourg, at Cherboug and we did a null match, so we score was 9 to 9.
The 3rd match was one week ago and it was against Caen TTC. The Caen TTC players were 2nde ex aequo with us! We did again null match so we are again 2nde!
It's the 1st that we are on the top of the classement after 3 matches!
There are 4 matches left against Saint-Pair(2), Argentan (the 1st), Saint-Paire(1) and ASPTT Caen!
