ball | Pro B. A shock with a very special flavor for SLUC Nancy against ADA Blois

SLUC Nancy – ADA Blois,

this Saturday (5 p.m.) in Gentilly

A shock in curfew mode

It’s a shock of co-leaders that makes your mouth water. Necessarily. But this poster between SLUC Nancy and Blois will have a very special scent due to the curfew implemented since Friday evening. Advance to 5 p.m., the meeting will be played with a maximum of 1000 spectators. The blow is hard to take for the Nancy club which hoped for 4,000 supporters.
