Katerina Toliou and Constantina Paridis made their debut in the French table tennis championship, one strengthened her team in the second professional League (the so-called Pro B), and the other in the third division of the country (National 1). Both were absent from the opening matchday because they took part with Panathinaikos in the first phase of the Champions League.
They participated the other day in the matches of the second season. Toliou continues in Rennes and Paridis in Bourgouin Jalio. Of our internationals competing abroad, Ioanna Gerasimatou will be the last to make her debut this year. The championship in Bulgaria, where last year he celebrated the title with Comfort, starts in November.
In the women’s Pro B, Rennes CPB were beaten 3-2 away by Saint-Pierrez. Toliou was placed in position 1 and had a win and a loss. She lost to France’s Lucy Gauthier in 3-0 sets and defeated compatriot Gina Robes in 3-1 sets.
We remind you that in the premiere of the championship, Tolio’s teammate in the national team, Aliki Kioufi, wore the shirt of Rennes, who has made an agreement to compete with Rennes 2 in the National categories as well.
In the Women’s National 1, Bourgouane Jaglio participates in the second group of the first phase. For the second matchday, they conceded a 7-7 draw at home to Annesi with Paridis as the first player to score two wins and one loss. Eight teams are in the second division, the same number in the third division groups.
In Bulgaria, Gerasimatou has renewed its cooperation with the champion Comfort. Next month, the competition begins, where ten teams take part and compete against each other in two rounds and collectively on weekends.
