Two days immersed in great volleyball. A weekend full of emotions which saw the teams from Palmi, Aci Castello, Brescia and Aversa as protagonists, who honored the “Elio Maisano and Antonella Fedele Tournament” which was held in the setting of the PalaSurace in Palmi.
Emotions, memories and sport mixed during the tournament excellently organized by the home team of OmiFer Palmi of owner Pino Carbone who had also been a teammate of Elio Maisano, who tragically died together with Antonella Fedele in a road accident. Moments full of emotion that will remain in the hearts of all those present.
On the sporting side, the four teams competed and were thus able to test their mechanisms and physical condition in view of the start of the championship scheduled for next October. The Cosedil Aci Castello team deservedly prevailed, beating the hosts OmiFer Palmi 3 sets to 0 in the final, winning the sets with scores of 25-16, 29-27 and 25-23 in a race that proved to be more closely fought than the final result could indicate. For coach Andrea Radici, the possibility of rotating the entire roster available during the weekend in order to give playing time to all the players who are continuing their intense athletic preparation according to the schedule.
The challenge. In the first set, Aci Castello immediately gains a reassuring margin, closing with a score of 25-16. The second set saw a great balance between the two teams, with Palmi fighting point for point with the Sicilians who in the end, after a series of serving errors that kept the set in the balance, managed to gain the advantage on the 29/27. There was also a lot of balance during the third set with Palmi trying to get the match back into play without any luck: in the end Cosedil Aci Castello still prevailed and closed the set at 25/23, which certified the final 3-0.
A victory that confirms the value of Cosedil Aci Castello and all the ambitions of the team led by coach Camillo Placì.
In the final for third and fourth place, at the end of a hard-fought match played point by point, Evolution Green Aversa prevailed 3 sets to 2, beating Gruppo Consoli Sferc Brescia in a tiebreak.
