Castellana Grotte came back from Alberobello and the Leonardo De Giorgio memorial with its first pre-season victory in the bag. In spite of being without Tamburo, Fanizza’s men grounded out a tie-break win in the Apulia derby against Alessano. Lorenzo Bonetti finished top scorer with 18 points, Tartaglione added 15 and Bulfon 13. Next for Castellana is the Sieco Service Cup, a tournament played in Ortona on Staurday 10 and Sunday 11. The semi-finals will be Perugia versus Castellana Grotte and Ortona versus Molfetta.
