ANCONA – Sunday 28 April Cosma Vela Ancona plays game 1 of the playoffs in the Saline di Senigallia swimming pool against the Turin at 2.30pm. This the first act semi-final between the second of the southern group and the third of the north, the second will be played in Turin on Sunday 5 May, the eventual beautiful Sunday 12. And the Ancona girls on Sunday will be at home but away again, that is to say in Senigallia and not in Ancona, due to the closure of the Passetto swimming pool which for over two months has prevented the team from training in Ancona, where it has always done so, and from hosting matches at home. Here, therefore, the match will be played in Senigallia, just like the last ones of the regular season. Cosma Vela concluded the regular season in first place on equal points with Volturno, but second for the direct clashes against the Campania team. Which, as per the rules and like Orobica, first in the northern group, will await the result of the semi-finals to find out who they will have to face in the final playoff series.
The final one that the Dorians of coach Milko Pace they want to catch up by overcoming Torino, starting with Sunday’s match in Senigallia: «Last Sunday we started the match very well – explains coach Milko Peace which starts from the analysis of the last match of the regular season, the one won against Napoli Lions -. Without taking anything away from the girls, Napoli seemed a bit submissive to me, my girls were numbered, only ten, but I made them all play with continuity, and they responded with the right attitude and with the necessary application. We finished the championship with 33 points, compared to 31 last year, and we are first on equal points with Volturno, second only for head-to-head matches. A more than positive balance.”
Now the playoffs against the Piedmontese: “The Turin he fought to the end together with the Brescia for third place, it’s a mix of experience and young athletes, with a new coach, with an interesting and orderly game, with two very good girls, I expect two or three matches that will be balanced and close. As for the first in the northern group, theOrobic, finished the championship with only one draw and all victories, an ambitious team that did very well. But now let’s think about Turin. We will always get there with few workoutsunfortunately, but the girls are convinced, the last two tests have given confidence to the group and I hope that with the experience of last year and with the awareness that we must do well immediately in game 1 we can approach these playoffs in the right way. And I am convinced that also in Senigallia the our audience he will give us a hand.”
