Thanks to this success, the Bees return to four points from the Vaudois. While there are still five interclub matches to play, the Chaux-de-Fonniers can still hope to stay in the elite of Swiss badminton.
At home, the Chaux-de-Fonniers could even have achieved a better result. The pair made up of the young Lucie Amiguet and the Swedish Edith Urell lost in five sets even though they had hung the first two sets. In the event of a 7-1 success, the Abeilles would have been only two units behind the Lausanne residents.
