Before reaching the final in Montluçon, the team had to first overcome the hurdle named Bassens. The suspense was short-lived as the team from Nice obliterated the Girondins with a score of 16 to 2 (winning 5 tête-à-tête matches to 1, and both doublets 2 to 0). At the same time, Montluçon narrowly defeated Le Relecq Kerhuon with a tight score of 16 to 15 (4 tête-à-tête matches to 2, 1 doublet at 2, and 1 triplet at 1). The final was set to be spectacular, with two strong teams eager to win.
The tête-à-tête matches could not determine a winner between the two teams, ending with a tie score of 6 to 6. Quintais, Cortès, and Suchaud fell, while Roche, Lacroix, and Miléi won their matches. The doublet matches marked the beginning of the nightmare for the Montluçon team, which suffered a relentless defeat of 9-0 with victories by the pairs: Christine Saunier-Philippe Suchaud, Henri Lacroix-Simon Cortès, and Pascal Miléi-Philippe Quintais.
The triplet matches saw the same harsh fate, with a resounding 5-0 score amassed by the Nice trios of Roche-Suchaud-Lacroix and Miléi-Quintais-Montoro. Ultimately, a score of 20 to 6 enabled the Nice team to clinch their fifth French Cup in a regal manner!
