There was a gap class. Guaranteed to play in the Ligue 2 play-offs, the girls of Champagne Basket Féminin had a lot to do this Saturday on their floor against the Toulouse leader. Voluntary and far from being ridiculous, the Rémoises never had the opportunity to believe in the exploit. Quickly led by Haut-Garonnaises largely dominating in the interior sector, and more skilful in the shoots, the Rémoises logically gave in. Two games from the end, Les Pétillantes now hope not to meet Toulouse again before the play-off final.

THE GAME
There was no miracle. And the suspense didn’t really exist either. Yet Victoria Majekodunmi with an award at the very beginning of the match, ideally launched the debates. But very quickly, Brochant then Mulumba launched the visitors. But it is especially Karly Loyd who quickly made the show. Eaten in the paint and not very skilful, the Rémoises saw the gap swell quickly (5-14). Combative, the proteges of Julien Pincemin did not let go and came back under the impetus of Mathilde Domenger. But they were too powerless against Loyd and Robinson. So that the gap was already made at the end of the first quarter (16-28). In advance, Toulouse then managed its lead, well helped by the experience of Isabelle Strunc. Collectively valiant, the Marnaises continued their efforts. But the percentage of success remained in favor of the visitors (30-44).
In a beautiful atmosphere, the Rémoises returned from the locker room with good intentions. Still at a distance and in difficulty inside, the Sparklings took advantage of their new long-distance success to get closer to 10 points, also well helped by the penetrating game of Mathilde Domenger. Better, the Rémoises took advantage of the clumsiness of Toulouse too easy to get even closer. An award-winning Bratka then Middleton brought the CBF to -6 (48-54). But Robinson and Strunc restored order in the pink house (49-57, 30th).
Always voluntary, the Rémoises continued to rely on external success. Alexa Middleton returned a shot from nowhere. But he was quickly annihilated by a 2+1 from Robinson. Not enough to leave much hope in a final quarter where Toulouse was able to accelerate when necessary. Worn by her strangers above the lot,
