Sélestat Alsace Handball is back to star league, the first division of men’s handball. The Violets won the final of the Proligue playoffs against JS Cherbourg (36-30) on Saturday June 5.
5th in the championship at the end of the season
The Sélestadiens were not favorites in these playoff phases played in Dijon this weekend. 5th in the regular season, they first had to go through a barrage phase (victory against Nice) to access it.
After defeating yesterday in the semi-final Ivry (33-28) the leaders of the championship in the semi-final, they therefore repeated the feat by making the difference against Cherbourg in the second period.
The Sélestadiens will return to the elite of men’s handball next year, after five seasons in the second division.
