The first official game for Ravenna will be tomorrow in Padova at 5.30pm. Bonitta’s men will be up against one of the favourites of the A2 league. Ravenna will be without Klapwijk (just been knocked out the European Championships by Italy, but still busy with Holland in the qualification for the World Championships), Toniutti, Tillie, Jeliazkov, Cebulj (to arrive Friday, will be on the bench at the Lobietti memorial), and Goi (just got injured in training).

“We have a lot of re-organizing to do but we knew it given the European Championships – said coach Bonitta – But this game as well as the one of next Saturday against Piacenza will be useful to check where work done in the past month got us to, without any pressure in terms of result”.
