Poitiers Volley
Behind the leading pair surprisingly fell the pursuers: Sète is outclassed by Paris, Rennes was defeated by Narbonne and Cannes was defeated by Ajaccio. Narbonne and Ajaccio are off so the Beauvais is in the struggle for salvation.
The hosts Tourcoing in quarter-finals took the victory (against Lyon) and Montpellier won in tiebreaker in a major confrontation against Tolouse directly leading to play off.
