ALCL in pursuit for semi final

In straight matches ALCL Tennis de Table Grand-Quevilly beat Turkish Bursa Büyüksehir Belediyespor Külübü and progressed to the quarterfinal of the ETTU Cup. “The Round three showed the weakness of the Turkish young team. Only in the first match between Stephanie LOUEILLETTE and Remzi SIBEL we experienced difficulties. It was close game, but at the end Sibel took only one game,” said Manager Philippe BARBARAY.

In the quarterfinal club from France will meet Austria’s Leistungszentrum Linz Forschberg. “I think that the odds are equal since the both clubs are much leveled. It will be very interesting duel. We already played against each other in the past and we were better.”

Speaking about the goals, Manager Philippe BARBARAY pointed: “Our goal in this season regarding the ETTU Cup is to reach the semi-final because it will be difficult to beat another Austrian team. It will be impossible to defeat SVS Ströck to reach the final.”

LI Xue has to recover her strength. Stephanie LOEUILLETTE was injured and unavailable for 10 days. Marina BERHO will return.

In French Pro A team is currently fourth at the standings. “Our goal is to be among top 5 clubs in France.”
