Assured of finishing the season in 8th place, and thus without real sporting stakes for several weeks, the Reims Volley 51 players still wanted to end the season on a positive note. Facing Rennes this Saturday evening at their René Tys complex, Alexis Farjaudon’s proteges showed a strong comeback to overcome Rennes who had a better start. With a better attitude afterwards, the Marnais snatched the win of the second set after a thrilling suspense, before taking the following one despite some scares at the end. Despite being led in the 4th set, the Reims team could rely on the solid performances of Yohan Leray and Billel Soualem to overcome the inconsistencies. A satisfying conclusion before a final visit to Cambrai on Friday and a last celebration at home to close a mixed season.
