Wembanyama shines, basketball players in the Halle Carpentier… It was your sports weekend on the Ile de France

Since last season, Le Parisien has been reporting every weekend on all the results and highlights of sporting events involving clubs in the Île-de-France region.

Weekend match: PSG too strong for Ivry

Handball. The weekend derby stopped for Ivry against the Parisian ogre on Saturday. With difficulty in the standings (14th), Sebastian Quintalle’s men did not resist PSG’s offensive power for long and lost heavily on their floor 39–26. Led by Ferran Sole and Luka Karabatic (7 goals each), the reigning French champions could also rely on the great Andreas Palicka in goal with 10 saves.

PSG maintains the leading position it occupies along with Montpellier. For their part, the Val-de-Marne club remains outside the red zone, but only a small point ahead of 15th-place Istres.

Star: Victor Wembanyama is still in his thirties.

Basketball. He is definitely unstoppable. The Metropolitans 92 star broke the 30 mark again in a Betclic Elite match. Last weekend, he already became the first player in the history of the French championship to sign more than 30 units in three matches in a row. On Friday it was exactly 32.

Effective performance, adorned with 10 rebounds, 3 assists and very accurate shooting (12/20). Thus, the new nugget of tricolor basketball once again led his team to success against Fos-sur-Mer (96-85). Boulogne-Levallois have won 9 out of 10 games played and continue to maintain their title hopes.

Event: Halle-Carpentier Women’s Basketball Mode

Basketball. The traditional home of Parisian basketball, Halle-Carpentier, on Friday night gave pride of place to women. For one evening, the hall in the 13th arrondissement of Paris vibrated for an incendiary women’s derby between Orly and So. The match counts towards National Championship 1, the equivalent of the third hexagonal division. And it was So’s players, led by Chris Singleton, who won with a short header (75-72). Enough to take second place.

Rebound: Stade Français returns to victory over La Rochelle

Rugby. The men in pink resume their march forward. After losing on their pitch to Toulon last weekend (12-17), the Île-de-Frances were able to raise the bar on Saturday night by getting rid of La Rochelle (27-14). Prestigious success against teammates Gregory Aldritt gained thanks to the gala concert by Sek Makalou.

The third link tried the acceleration, the secret of which he has, and constantly endangered the defense of La Rochelle. With this victory, the Parisians overtake their evening rivals in the standings and take second place in this Top 14 behind the untouchable Stade Toulousain.

Stampede: Massey will never stop losing

Rugby. Still beaten in Pro D2, Massey looks to be heading towards relegation already. Having risen to the second tier of French rugby this season, the Essonniens lost again this weekend, this time on the Agen pitch (24-12). And thus bring their total number to 10 losses in just 3 wins. In the standings, the wards of Julien Marechal logically take the place of the red lights and are already 8 points behind Montauban, the penultimate one.

Victory in mind: Paris resists the return of Saint-Nazaire

Volleyball. However, the evening started well for Parisian volleyball on the Saint-Nazaire course on Saturday evening. After two first sets to a draw, Dorian Rougeiron’s side thought they were on their way to a fourth success this season. But Saint-Nazaire has more than one trick up his sleeve and manages to push the price up, thanks in part to an exceptional third set (35-33). Then, in the fifth decisive round, everything is decided by the fact that Paris manages to win with a score of 15–12. What to return to the small score of the 8th qualifying place for the final stages.

For his part, Le Plessis-Robinson did not have the same success and lost sharply 3-0 at the Tour, the leader of the classification. The Robinsons slip precariously into 12th place, just three units behind Cambrai, the dumbass of this A-League championship.
