The Pirates have secured a 76.7% victory rate this season (23 wins out of 30 matches). They suffered only 7 defeats (including 4 at the Cordouan Space) during the 2025-2026 season. In the previous season, they had only won once in 17 matches, and that victory was away from home!
Belgian Martin Lallemand has had a successful season, being the top attacking receiver in League B and the 3rd highest ace scorer with 43 points.
Matheus Faustino, the Brazilian central player for the Pirates, ranks as the second-best defender in League B with 288 points, also holding the second central position in the pool.
Two players are retiring after this season: Gauthier Bonnefoy and David Guelle. Bonnefoy is moving towards a new professional path by opening a business on the outskirts of Bordeaux, while Guelle will stay on as the team’s president for the upcoming season.
Julien Pasquier, the young libero from Royan at 22 years old, is ranked the third-best in his position for the previous season.
Royan’s point Cheikh Diop finishes just outside the podium with 465 points, playing only 29 matches due to a suspension. Belgian attacker Martin Lallemand is in 10th place with 413 points.
Liam Varier, the passer with a 45.17% efficiency rate in 30 matches at the young age of 23, has overshadowed the previous president-passer David Guelle.
