The Andernos train has left the station

SCHILTIGHEIM - The team boss, Bernard Baudoin showed his big smile in the stands. His players, Jérôme Barbeillon and Francis Connesson, started with riant victories and big margins in the French team championship. Filippos Kasidokostas and Roland Forthomme can finish it off after the break.

The Andernos train has left at full speed, the opponent Laxou is derailed at the station. Jérôme Barbeillon played an excellent match with runs of 12 and 7, Pierre Soumagne was relegated to a helpless opponent with 50-11 in 21 innings. The difference in average was dramatic: Barbeillon 2.381, Soumagne 0.523.

Francis Connesson needed a slightly longer match to finish against Eric Kremer, but long before the end, the winner was known. The French all round player had a weak start (14-10 down in 11), took a 26-15 lead and had a better final sprint: 50-17 in 34 (1.471/0.500).

This start must be enough to determine Andernos as winner of the match, not only with two match points, especially with the difference in caroms (100-28!!).

The following matches (live on Kozoom ) are nonetheless very worth to watch:

Filippos Kasidokostas - Torbjörn Blomdahl
Roland Forthomme - Martin Horn.
