In the fight for maintenance, the Taraco-Fuxeans had absolutely had to defeat Montpellier-Castelnau. If possible 3-0 or 3-1. Impressive against the Hérault templates, the Ariégeois almost succeed in the perfect match and won 3 sets at 0. A victory that keeps them alive for maintenance.
TFVB 3 – MONTPELLIER-CASTELNAU 0 (25-21 ; 25-18 ; 25-20).
It is the team announced, with three young people, Mathieu, Doladille and Cyrilla, from the Montpellier Castelau Volley University training center (Muc III), which presents itself in a cauldron very little full on this rainy Sunday. Three players over 2 m, as much to say that the TFVB should not be celebrated. We can always protest, declare that the Muc III misses the championship, but the rule makes it possible to do so. However, from the outset, the TFVB is equal to the Hérault “Golgoths”. Chabrel’s men hang on. Little helped by arbitration, they are on the heels of the muc even if Cyrilla hurts the attack (12-14). Augustin Grosdidier, author of a “big match” this Sunday, brings his own, 15-16, to the wing, 16-16 on a nice block. 17-17, the Greens and Whites fight like lions and pass in front (19-18).
Respecting to the letter the instructions of their coach, who had asked them to make the points last, to play continuity by being present in the block / defense, they gradually take the ascendant (22-19). The young Montpellier is impressive, but they are also brittle. They chain direct faults returned to Pottier, Permentier ends the net work (25-21). The spectators exult. Jean-Jacques Duris, an emblematic ex-president, even comes to get the flags out for a gymnasium “like at the time”. The young Tambourinaires set the mood to the end of the game.
The second set starts as the first. MUC III is slightly running in mind (0-2). Despite its height, the counter visitor undergoes the varied game of Pottier (6-6). The fight is raging. The TFVB is large (9-6). Baptiste Bru then Hugo Pottier defense on the ground on two perfectly made feints. The Hérault coach, Baccon, like his men, does not understand what is going on (11-7). It is the visitor captain Loïc Sitbon who pays the price for the disappointing start of the muc. Mathéo Krumeich takes his place, (14-9). Bouville is, as often, “superb” in defense (17-11). Permentier, returned into play, puts a phenomenal “box”, followed by a perfect fixed of
Robin Bru (20-12). The match loses, logically, in intensity. The faults multiply on both sides. 22-17, the muc nibbles but does not find the solutions, too often serving outside to hope for something at the foot of the Castella (25-18). Two sets at zero, who would have believed it? Chabrel and his men, without a doubt!
Last two decisive matches
The locals go back on the wheel hats. Despite a new refereeing traffic, they lead the dance from start to finish. Robin BRU CHEIFFE DOLADILLE, to whom he returns 20 centimeters (19-15). Grosdidier is on a point in a point. The tension is at its height, 21-17. 23-18 ,, 25-20, the TFVB did it. The Ariégeois give themselves the right to reserve a support. An objective always possible, even if the 3-0 victory from Martigues to Montpellier Cross d’Argent can somewhat upset the Taraco-Fuxéens plans. The next two meetings, including the arrival of the Martégaux, on April 27, promise to be “hot hot”. In the meantime, Chabrel and its players can savor their performance. The public was still enjoyed, and volleyball, at the gates of Haute Ariège, can hope to continue living at national level in 2025/2026.
