Stars in their eyes, and a big smile that will be hard to fade. In Nevers, Les Bleuets celebrate their formidable performance. This Thursday, in front of the Ducal Palace, the French under-23 team achieved the feat of winning the 6th stage of the Petanque Masters. The Olympic form of Mayron Baudino, the accuracy of Adrien Delahaye and the mastery of Flavien Sauvage were perfectly combined with their energy and their flawless understanding. With the gold medal around their necks, the European U23 champions can be happy. In the final, Philippe Chesneau’s youngsters simply got the better of Equipe Rocher, overall leader. At the same time, here is the young guard in good position to qualify for the Final Four. Now fourth with 26 points, they approach the Romans-sur-Isère stage with a head start next Wednesday.
upturned rock
In this final, the Rocher team started the best. The score is 3-0 in favor of the “elders”, without the young people opposite not particularly flinching. The proof with what follows. Meticulous and without fire, Delahaye and Baudino make the powder speak. The two shooting enthusiasts teach their elders a lesson, while succeeding in their tactical choices. With the last ball in hand, Flavien Sauvage made the right decision. The final shot is perfectly made, it is a lead of four points for the Bleuets.
Hopes unfold
U23s who have not said their last word. In the process, leads by six points! (11-3). In their game, the Espoirs take advantage of the missteps of Robineau and his family, and make him pay dearly. In the absence of Dylan Rocher, Diego Rizzi is the leading shooter. Skillful all day, the Maestro fishes on this final (3/7) and is forced to score more. However, the pride of the champions is there. The Feltain-Rizzi-Robineau trio offers the next lead, with three points in the bag. At the end of the game, the two teams are in their game, and it will take little to decide between the two formations. Involuntarily, Adrien Delahaye comes out the goal on a badly embarked lead.
Robineau for a final thrill
The offensive Bleuets are perfectly in their game. On the final lead, the Rocher trio chooses, four balls to four, to shoot the goal. Two failures for Rizzi, one for Feltain… with a lot of bad luck. As the goal is struck, it ricochets off a wayward pebble. With the last ball of his training, Stéphane Robineau offers a final gesture of high class to his public. The one who grew up in Nièvre (departmental champion in minims, cadets and juniors), managed a formidable point, 13 meters away. If Baudino fails, Adrien Delahaye slams a superb winning diamond. Success validated for the Blueberries, and a tremendous accomplishment. See you in Romans-sur-Isère for the outcome of this Final Four race.
