NF1 Round 7 (Regular Season): St.Delphin loses their first game against Limoges

Here is the last round review presented by LBM Management.

The most crucial game of the last round was the first loss of St.Delphin (6-1) on the court of fourth ranked Limoges on Saturday night. Visitors were defeated by Limoges 69-64. It ended at the same time the six-game winning streak of St.Delphin. Limoges have a solid series of three victories in a row. They maintain fourth place with 4-2 record. St.Delphin at the other side still keeps top position with one game lost. They share it with Sceaux and Nord Alsace. Limoges are looking forward to face Dijonnais (#11) on the road in the next round and are hoping to win another game. St.Delphin will play against Beaumont (#6) and is hoping to win this game.
Important game to mention about took place in Colomiers. Second ranked Martigues (5-2) saved a 3-point victory on the road edging 7th ranked Colomiers (3-4) 68-65 on Saturday evening. Guest team only slightly avoided a big embarassment. Martigues have an impressive series of five victories in a row. They maintain second place with 5-2 record behind leader St.Delphin, which they share with 4 other teams. Colomiers at the other side dropped to the eighth position with four games lost. They share it with 3 other teams. Martigues will play against Saumur Liore (#5) at home in the next round. Colomiers will play against Bourges II and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
Another exciting game was a derby match between two local teams from Paris: Stade Francais (#8) and Paris (#6). Paris was defeated at home 74-81 and even the advantage of their own court did not help. Stade Francais (4-3) moved-up to fifth place, which they share with Beaumont and Saumur Liore. Newly promoted Paris dropped to the seventh position with three games lost. They share it with Carqueiranne. Stade Francais will meet at home Lamboisieres (#5) in the next round. Paris will play against Le Havre and hope to secure a win.
