Saint-Raphaël handily defeats Mors-Thy, securing their entry into the Europa League's group stage
Saint-Raphaël Var Handball Secures a Spot in the European League Group Phase
The French handball team, Saint-Raphaël Var Handball (SRVHB), secured a spot in the group phase of the European League with a resounding victory in their preliminary round match against Mors-Thy. The game, played in Thisted, Denmark, ended with a score of 32-45 in favour of SRVHB.
In this thrilling encounter, SRVHB showcased their dominance, maintaining a thirteen-goal lead over Mors-Thy. The team's pivot, Johannes Marescot and Jonathan Mapu, were particularly impressive, with a combined 12/12 shooting record. Alexandre Demaille, the goalkeeper, was solid, making 13 saves.
Unfortunately, no information is available about the shooting records of the players in the upcoming return match, scheduled for September 6. The location of the return match has not been specified yet.
SRVHB's win means that France could potentially have three representatives in the European League, as Montpellier and Toulouse are already qualified. If SRVHB maintains their lead in the return match, they will secure a place in the group phase.
The postponement of SRVHB's matches in the French Cup and the first day of Liqui Moly Starligue next week has not been clarified. The team will use this time to prepare for the return match in peace, with no earthquakes threatening to disrupt their plans.
The three French representatives in the group stage of the European League, given SRVHB's victory, would be Saint-Raphaël, Paris Saint-Germain, and Montpellier Handball. SRVHB's performance in the competition so far has been impressive, and they will be eager to continue their success in the return match.
