First game of the year and penultimate of the first round for the Clementine 2020 what that welcomes and challenges Wind of happiness from Trevi in a position to give the previously unbeaten Tuscan league leader Castelfranco di Sotto a clear 3-0 before the long Christmas break.
That's precisely why the game was very emotional and the tension was palpable on the thin playing field.
In the first set, however, the Clementines immediately gained a nice lead, which they exploited until the end despite the guests' late awakening. In the second case, exactly the opposite happens, that is, it is the Trevana who take advantage, leaving Saveriano and his teammates behind while dealing with the usual problems of reception and attack. In the subsequent rounds there is no story, the entire difference in performance between the two teams comes to light, with a superlative performance from Valentina Fedeli, who takes her teammates by the hand and leads them to a 3-1 final.
Coach Paniconi Starts with: Saveriano and Stafoggia diagonally, Grilli and Canuti in the middle, Fedeli and Dalla Rosa in the band and Sposetti libero.
