Rejected across the board. Once again. The second no from sports justice arrived yesterday afternoon to Forlì’s appeal, which was asking for the game lost in Carpi to be a 3-0 success due to Cecotti’s position considered irregular. The Court of Appeal took less than a quarter of an hour to settle the complaints of the Romagna players by certifying that Cecotti had served his suspension in the match against Pistoiese at the end of January. The disturbing action coming from Romagna therefore evaporates, at least in terms of effects on the rankings: now in fact, once the reasons are out, Forlì will have 30 days to possibly go to the third level at CONI, but this will happen after the start of the playoffs, playouts and poule scudetto, so at most the intrigue will be downgraded to a summer legal battle. “I would like to thank the lawyer Matteo Sperduti – explains the general director Enrico Bonzanini, present yesterday in the videoconference hearing –. Carpi has confirmed itself as a united and compact family: fundamental characteristics for the marathon that sees us, at all levels , having reached the last kilometre. No words are needed to explain what Sunday’s race is worth and I am sure that ‘Cabassi’ and the Carpi people will be able to give us a further push”. Now only room for football: the red and whites at +2 on Ravenna with a success against Certaldo (which only by winning can they hope for the playout, but must lose one of Progresso and Sammaurese or both if Borgo wins in San Marino) will be certain of the Lega Pro , in the event of a tie there would instead be a play-off. Calanca is ready to return while Forapani is disqualified. Great confidence in the recovery of Mandelli and Cecotti.
Champions. Meanwhile, there is a Carpi that has already celebrated: mister Michele Sommella’s Giovanissimi won the provincial title by beating Saliceta 3-0 in the final in Nonantola with goals from Iannella, Pellacani and Abaslami. After a great run in the group (22 wins in 26 matches, 138 goals scored and 15 conceded) finishing at the top with a +3 over Saliceta, Carpi beat Audax Casinalbo to ‘Sigonio’ in the semi-final 3-2 thanks to goals by Zanini (double) and La Manna.
