On Tuesday, the French teams recorded two wins and one loss, showing a slight improvement in their European campaign. Limoges made a strong start to their European season, achieving two consecutive victories. In their latest match, they traveled to Iceland to face Hafnarfjordur and emerged with a decisive win of 33-46. Though they were briefly behind at the start (2-1), Limoges quickly took control and maintained their lead throughout the match. They entered the halftime break with an 11-goal advantage (16-27) and continued to dominate in the second half, keeping a lead between 8 and 13 goals. Piotr Mielczarski was the top scorer for Limoges, scoring 7 of his 10 shots, while Valentin Kieffer made 10 crucial saves. Currently leading their group, Limoges will host the Basques from Irun next week in their upcoming match. Chambéry secured their first European Cup victory of the season, defeating CSM Bucarest at home with a score of 25-33. Similar to Limoges, the Savoyards were briefly behind at the beginning of the match but soon took control. They built a six-goal lead in the first half and entered the halftime break with a three-goal advantage (14-17). In the second half, Chambéry continued their strong performance, widening the gap to a final score of +9. Lucas Vanègue had an outstanding match, scoring all 8 of his shots. Currently second in Group C, Chambéry will host the Swiss team Kadetten in their next match. St-Raphaël, however, is the French club facing the most challenges in the European Cup. They suffered their second consecutive defeat, this time at home against Elverum with a score of 32-36. The Varois were behind throughout the match and faced a significant deficit in the first half, trailing by as many as eight goals (15-20). Although the second half was slightly more competitive, St-Raphaël never managed to reduce the gap below three goals. Despite contributions from Antonin Mohamed and Johannes Marescot, who scored 6 goals in total, the defeat was their second in two matches. Next week, St-Raphaël will travel to face the Swedish team Hammarby, where a win will be crucial if they are to continue their hopes of advancing to the next phase of the competition.
