This victory rewards an exemplary record over the last two seasons, as the team coached by Jérémy Aicardi has played in seven finals during the eight tournaments organised in the French professional SuperSevens championship.
Led by their captain Johan Demai-Hamecher, who was voted best player of the competition, President Emmanuel Falco’s men presented the Sovereign Prince with the trophy in the Cour d’honneur of the Palace.
In the presence of numerous local authorities, including H.E. the Minister of State, and Frédéric Michalak, the club’s general secretary, the players and staff then presented a shirt with autographs to the Prince of Monaco.
