Saint-Maur extend unbeaten run with win over Toulon
Stella Saint-Maur Women claimed a 20-15 victory over HBC Toulon Women in the Butagaz Energy League on Thursday evening. The result keeps both sides unbeaten through their opening two fixtures, though the gap between them has widened.
Saint-Maur moved into sixth place on four points from one win and a draw. Toulon stayed in ninth with two points from two draws, their only blemish so far being a lack of victories.
by then the visitors had established enough of an advantage to control the tempo. They found a way back into it after any early pressure, and the home side never quite got the rhythm back.
The hosts had lost 22-26 to Chambray Touraine on their previous outing, while Saint-Maur went down 24-34 against Nice the same day. Neither team was in the mood to let their recent form dictate this encounter.
what the result means is straightforward: Saint-Maur are on a good run and Toulon are weighing up how to turn draws into wins. The goal difference now sits at five in favour of the away side.
