In this first prestigious friendly game against the giants of Civitanova, Grottazzolina was defeated 3-1. However, there was a lot of positive to take out of this home encounter. « This game was also important in terms of promoting – admitted coach Ortensi – When Civitanova comes over, the gym is packed, and it’s a great feeling to see a full house on the first of September. As for the game, after two weeks of work, I am satisfied. We know we have to work to build our identity but we’re on the right track ».
