Bassano was happily back to victory even though it’s been extremely hard work for Cretu’s boys against Cavriago. But right now, the most important thing was to get a result and this first win in 2009, as Bassano had only collected defeats in the new year until now.

The win coincided with a good performance in attack with only 8 mistakes made during the five sets. Another good news came from the ‘reborn’ Frantisek Ogurcak, who scored 21 points. The players will have a chance to prove the bad times are definitely behind them when they face Roma in the Cup return leg and then against Castelfidardo, both games at home.
