The surprise of the last weekend of Promotion it was definitely the Joyful. From third in the standings in group B and with only one result available, the mister’s team Mirko Silvestri won 1-0 in the matchLentini”, condemning the City of Mistretta to defeat and to abandon the dream of reaching theExcellence.
An almost unexpected defeat for the Amastrate team who, for a long time during the regular season, had fought against the Rosemary for first place. Undefeated at home, the blue and white lost the most important match and the regret of the whole club and the whole team remains, as commented by the attacker Holy Salerno: “Unfortunately that’s how it went, it’s not the season finale we deserved and deserved. Honor goes to Gioiosa, a well-trained and combative team to which I congratulate.”
The bomber jacket from 35 goals season (first of the 4 groups) gave his usual prolific contribution, but was unable to climb the last step: “All I have to do is thank the club for never letting us lack anything and, nowadays, it is not easy to find such a reality. Technical staff and teammates with whom I shared unforgettable moments. And thanks to the people who supported us.”
Once the bitterness over the defeat has been overcome, Città di Mistretta will have to think about next season, what type of championship to face and with which team, perhaps starting from Salerno which, last summer’s transfer coup, is always tempting for many companies.
There will be time to think about the future, after a year that – the blue and white club itself – defined “extraordinary given that the early season planning was aimed at maintaining the category without the tribulations of last year“. A perhaps reductive objective compared to the staff set up in the summer and “after some initial missteps and the change of coach, we had a crescendo of results born from the wonderful group that gradually consolidated within the locker room and which allowed us to fight until the last match for the final victory that was missed for a single point and which represents the highest sporting result ever achieved in over 40 years of amateur championships played since the foundation of our club. This team, led by its president Antonino Sgro, this management and these extraordinary players have written an indelible page on the history. blue and white history. All this would not have been possible without the dedication of our president and the self-sacrifice of the sporting director Massimiliano Melidone, who lead a serious and capable management, thanks to which a squad of technically and morally extraordinary footballers has been created who have demonstrated a strong sense of attachment to the shirt, until the last minute of the game”.
A high-level championship for Città di Mistretta, which finished with the second best attack (59 goals), best defense (21 conceded), absolute top scorer of all amateur tournaments in Sicily (from Excellence to 3rd Category) on bomber Holy Salerno: “We must start from this to continue to do well for decades to come. A special mention must be reserved for coach Andrea Filetto for making himself available, once again, for his blue and white family. And then again thanks to all the technical staff : Francesco Ciccio Filetto, Francesco Maniaci and Salvatore Amato; to our indispensable collaborator Riccardo Di Marco”.
