Eight points to recover in the next six matches, the last of the regular season of the Blue Group of the A3 Credem Banca national championship, equally distributed between away and home matches. The first will be on Sunday 26 January 2025 at 6pm when Sieco Service Ortona, a team that currently occupies fifth position in the standings, will arrive at Pala Grotte.
This is the mission of Bcc Tecbus Castellana Grotte for the final stretch of the first part of the season: the objective is to avoid the salvation play-outs which the last three of the Blue Group and the last two of the White Group are forced into. The team coached by coach Giuseppe Barbone, after the stop in Sabaudia, is tenth in the standings with 10 points. In eighth place, with 18 points, is Lecce.
Step by step is the mantra at New Mater Volley. Game after game, win as many points as possible. Starting from the match against Ortona, a team fresh from three consecutive defeats, the last of these coming last Sunday in Castellana (on a neutral pitch) against Lagonegro. The Abruzzo team, led on the bench by Denora Caporusso and on the pitch by former players Del Vecchio and Arienti, remains fearsome, regardless of the latest results. This is confirmed by the result of the first leg (3-0 for Ortona) and more generally by a roster which, among others, features highly experienced elements such as Pinelli, Bertoli and Marshall.
