Group E. Fifth round
SC "Prometey" — "Volero Le Cannet"
Tournament position
After four rounds played, "Prometey" has one victory against the Romanian club "Alba Blaj" (3-2) and three defeats, two of which were against the Polish team "LKS Lodz" (0-3 and 2-3). They were unable to oppose the Ukrainians to their closest opponents from France: "Volero Le Cannet" did not give the "red and whites" a single set at that time.
Currently, our volleyball players are closing the standings of Group E. Meanwhile, the French are the sole leaders. The "Volero" team, as we mentioned above, overcame the resistance of "Prometey" (3-0) and "LKS" (3-2) and exchanged victories with "Alba Blaj" (3-2, 0-3).
