The EHF Champions League highest goal scorer is Melvin Richardson.  Impressive after his superb display at the World Championships. 

Hoping for an Aix win against Montpellier as Nimes beat Tremblay.  PSG playing Nantes tomorrow and both teams cannot get 2 points but they could both get one point.  It is getting really exciting. I need to book my travel to Paris and my match ticket for the USAM match !!!! Going to Japan is probably too ambitious as is an European season ticket. God knows what is to happen.  Mens sana in corpore sano !

Unable to watch handball through the BeIn Sports app from the United Kingdom I had to follow the match through the LNH's live update. And the second half was very stressful last night.  Great win ! 27-25. Go Green. Both goalkeepers had an excellent save percentage. We moved one notch better. We are now 4th in the league. My European dreams are getting stronger. More dilemmas coming our way.  There are still a lot of games to be played. And welcome to Mika ! I almost forgot to say how chuffed I am.   

Club handball at European level is fascinating and one can easily get side tracked or have his handball enjoyment marred by crazy times alloted to football fixtures.

Yesterday's win was comprehensive but we need to focus on Dunkirk's visit at the Parnasse.  We still played one more game than two of the top teams in front of us. In the chasing pack Nantes is causing us a bit of trouble but it is Marlene's (and Cyril's) team. And there are many other great players with flair and nice players in their team.  I listened to BBC Parliament last night instead of watching the LNH's live scoreboard where some funny comments may appear at times. The Green team has secured vital wins but we shall not stop this positive attitude. We need to raise our game and step up to the plate when required.  Go Green. The Dunkirk test is coming your way very shortly. It is nice to see both the Nimes handball and football team(s) faring well. Not only do their respective arenas sit very cl...
