You could feel there was something in the air at the eve of the game: It was too great an opportunity not to put its flag up there. Lattari’s boys left Dagioni’s team no chance. In the end, five consecutive wins were needed for Castellana Grotte to take over Roma at the top of the table. The team from the capital were indeed beaten in the derby against Sora as they were without main man Poey. Alessandro Giosa was named MVP as he registered an outstanding 89% in attack.
“We worked very hard this week, we knew this could be a tough game – said Giosa – In the end it went as we wanted it to. We are a very united group and we’ll celebrate all together this first place in the league table. But we do know it doesn’t mean anything right now because there are an awful lot of games to be played before the end of the season”.
