In the first derby of the season, Civita Castellana had the better of Tuscania at the tie-break in the Franco Sagnotti memorial. The main architect has undoubtedly been the Brazilian outside hitter Da Costa, who scored a total of 26 points (3 aces, 4 blocks). The team never ceased to make progress since it first outing of the season and yesterday again it made steps forward. The reception, with Cesarini as star man, went very well, while the blocking was impressive with no less than 19 stops against the only 6 for Tuscania.
