Castellana’s debut game lasted just over an hour. A season that kicks off with a severe 3-0 defeat (25-17, 25-18, 25-14) on the road. This is the fourth season in a row that Castellana loses the opening game. As coach Fanizza announced on the eve of the game, the players were not ready yet physically. Still, there was a reaction in the second set, while Peppe Longo (born 1998) and Daniele Lavia (1999), as well as Fabio Losco (1998) for half the set took part in the last set.
