Città di Castello took all three points and secured their place in the post-season for the first time in the club’s history.
Gert Van Walle (Altotevere Città di Castello): “We have played well, all the players helped each other and contributed to reach this target. We are thrilled to have reached the playoffs in our first year in the A1. In two years, we have achieved historical goals for this club. Now we’ll face this new adventure without any pressure”.
Dario Simoni (Coach Andreoli Latina): “We came here to play to the best of our ability, we did not manage that at all in the first set. In the second and third we did it only for short spells and that is not acceptable. We still have a lot of work to do and a lot to improve if we want to have any chance to win the European Cup final”.
