In Gioia del Colle there is a special feeling that had been around for quite some time. Credit to chairman Antresini’s team, who will already be present on Friday in Forli’s PalaFiera gym with a stand.

No less than three buses of fans will go to Forli, where Gioia will take part in the Italian Cup A2 final at 4pm against Latina. The two teams met only a week ago in the return league game. Latina won it at the tie-break but Gioia had also won in the fifth set earlier this season. This goes to show how tough it is to make any prediction on the outcome of this final.

“It’s a great satisfaction to get to Forli – said outside hitter Gianluca Nuzzo, who had a great performance in the semis against Roma – Now we have to try to meet the expectations and not disappoint anyone. Impossible to make any prediction, but one thing is for sure, we’ll give it our best shot to lift the trophy aloft”.
