Faced with a clearly superior opponent, the Fury de Rimouski U17 AA saw their adventure at the Paris World Games end in the quarter-finals on Thursday, losing 2-1 against the French club Mantes la ville.
The Bas-Laurentiens thus suffered their only defeat of the competition against a national level team in France. They went 2-0-1 in the preliminary round.
“We gave it our all. Despite major injuries, some guys wanted to play this match. All of our players have shown a high level of commitment. This loss hurts. Despite the fact that we had no expectations at the start of the tournament, the results of the first matches gave us the right to believe in it, ”indicates Fury head coach Keven Morneau, joined in Paris by Le Journal The evening.
The Paris World Games welcome more than 10,000 athletes aged 10 to 19 in soccer, badminton, basketball, handball and rugby. The Fury entered the competition by carrying out different fundraising campaigns.
