The most awaited Serie A2 TIM’s match, the one between Codyeco Santa Croce and Premier Hotels Crema, ends 0-3 for the guests. The home team is still dealing with injuries and they have to give up on Lirutti too half way through the match.

With this victory, Crema goes to the top due Esse-ti Carilo Loreto and SP TTTLines Catania’s tie break defeats.
Loreto cannot beat Tiscali Cagliari’s determination and a surprising victory by Raccorderie Metalliche Mantova in Catania, not only for the difference in the standings between the two but especially because Mantova has always been ahead in the set counts.
Stefano Moro’s excellent performance, with 36 points is not enough for the sicilians to win.
Tonno Callipo Vibo Valentia are not taking advantage of what they have built. On Olio Pignatelli’s difficult grounds they fly to 0-2 but they do not manage to have the last word and let Isernia catch up. But the 5th set is witnessing the calabresi’s roaring who close the fight for good.
Fiorese Spa Bassano gives continuity to its reaction. After the home victory with Castellana Grotte, they win away in Avellino (1-3) grabbing 3 important points for the standings.
