One win and one loss for Città di Castello in the Monimi tournament played in Spoleto. Without its internationals Van Walle, Piano and Fromm, and without Rossi in the second game as he got a knock, Radici’s boys first had the better of the hosts 2-0 before surrendering to the Algerian national team. Young Sartoretti finished top scorer of the first encounter with 10 points, while Dolfo stood out with 8 points in the second.
“Those two days have been first of all useful for the cohesion of the team – said coach Radici – We had time to practice both with the weights and the balls, and then we had the games which did not give us any crucial information but still some interesting indications. Against the hosts, it was not difficult, there is a difference of level, but it proved harder the next day against Algeria, at this point of the pre-season it was tough for us to handle their rhythm”. Next is a friendly in Potenza Picena on Thursday 12.
