Three matches to go to the end of the 1st leg. And they will be three vital matches to defend (or improve) teh current eighth place in the standings which at the end of 2007, could be worth the first achievement of the season: the qualifying to the TIM Cup.
The chase starts this saturday at PalaIngrosso against Catania, third in the standings.
The Sicilian team got a stable place with “The big ones”, placing themselves at the top a few times.
After that on wednesday the 26th, the salentini are facing the local derby against Castellana. The first leg ends with the match in Vibo Valentia, another top team. And that will be the “rendez vous” for the Cup qualifying.
“This is a very peculiar championship – comments middle blocker Alessandro Giosa – Each match has a life of its own, nothing can be taken for granted. Regarding the CUP, we will try and do our best to repeat the good performances we supplied in the past two matches against Cagliari and Isernia.
We will think about the standings after the last match of the 1st leg against Vibo Valentia”.
