SERIE A2 TIM
CREMA KEEPS THE LEADERSHIP
The 9th round of the Serie A2 TIM opened with a minute of silence in memory of Marshal Daniele Paladini, victim of a terrorist attack in Afghanistan yesterday.
Leader Premier Hotels Crema defends the position thanks to their 7th victory this season. Beaten this week end was Materdomini Volley.it Castellana Grotte, forced to play without two strong players like Rafael Pasqual and julius Sabo. Again, Roberto Cazzaniga proved himself with its 26 points.
Behind them, waiting for tonight’s result between Esse-ti Carilo Loreto and Divani&Divani Avellino, are Marmi Lanza Verona and SP TTTLines Catani, tie break winner. the scaligeri dominated the three sets played with Framasil Cucine Pineto where the new coach did not give immediate results.
five beatutiful sets between Mare&Volley Forli and SP TTTLines Catania. the first two were balanced, with Catania always managing to direct them their own way. 2-0 down, Mare&volley explodes its potential and goes on 2-2. The tie break alternates emotions and the guest team manages to win thanks to the final 17-19.
Tonno Callipo Vibo Valentia’s good phase carries on, with their third consecutive victory that easily gets rid of Codyeco S, Croce now in the hands of Enzo Valdo.
Fiorese Spa Bassano seems to have put the negative start of this season behind them and in a very hard match with Stilcasa Salento D’amare Taviano, they get the whole jackpot. With today’s points, Dalla Fina’s men get away from the red zone.
Olio Pignatelli Isernia’s determination and good game win in Mantova against Raccorderie Metalliche. Both teams played without two important players like Hietanen (Mantova) and Kangasniemi (Isernia), who flew to Finland to pay with their national team. Isernia hides the absence though, playing a good digging and blocking match, stopping the opponents from attacking successfully.
the most important points though, are the ones towards safety in Spoleto, where Monini Marconi manages to bend Tiscali Cagliari at tie break.
Spoleto regretting not having close the match after being 2-0 ahead.
Esse-ti carilo Loreto Vs Divani&Divani Avellino closes the challenge tonight at 20.30 live on SNAI.
