However the match did not finish amicably
as they could not agree the score!
The French team that started yesterday
in fourth place swept to the top of the table with 180VP. They are
pursued by Popova's Bulgarian /Turkish/Israeli tripartite
squad on 171VP. Third place is held by Italy's Fornaciari
on 167VP. Fourth place is occupied by yet another transnational
outfit, the Norwegian/Polish combination, Mali with
164 VP.
These four teams are in the box seats, but the
chasing pack includes severalof the fancied teams, including those
captained by Stoppa, Willard, Lavazza and the
holders, Auken.
