Olio Pignatelli Isernia – SP TTTLines Catania was a dignified starter for the New Years’ Eve’s dinner party.
The final 3-0 does not tell what a beautiful match it was, but if you only look at the sets scores you will realise what a battle it was.
Both starting six faced eachother openly, aggressive with their service straight away, with a good reception that allowed the setters to play with their attacking force at their best – with Scappaticcio superior to Koch – so that in the third set coach Conte replaced him with young Niero – and many long plays thanks to the great digging performances by Kangasniemi and Trimarchi.
The final result came out of more punctuality when blocking and more eagerness at the end of the sets. A match for the connesseurs.
Conte has to give up on Quiroga, away with his national team and Chiovini prefers Gemmi to Negao.
A great performance by Chiovini’s men who in front of more experienced and quoted opponents they were able to conquer a sharp result, changing the situation both in the second and third set.
With this affirmation, Olio Pignatelli is fourth on 29 points and Esse-ti Carilo Loreto will be their opponents in the TIM Cup Final Eight on the 24th of january.
