Called to a new undertaking, after an electrifying season finale conditioned however by the latest home defeat against Bisceglie which shuffled the red and white cards, the New Flying Balls return to the pitch today at 8.30pm for game one of the first round of the series playout B. Coach Augusto Conti’s men, who should find Alessandro Piazza in the control room, will be on stage in Rubano for the first of the two away matches against Padova (game two on Monday at 8.30 pm), appetizer of the match on the Ozzano parquet scheduled for next Thursday at 8.30pm: the possible match four is scheduled in Ozzano on Sunday 12th, while for the possible ‘big one’ we have to wait until May 15th in Veneto.
Last day of playoff poule on the C series fields, with the ranking still in the balance in view of the final four (starting on May 19th): the top four in the group, which travel in a very short ranking, will go on to play a place in the Interregional 2024/2025. Today at 6pm we start with Forlimpopoli which will receive the Queen Basket 2000, tied at the top with the other Reggio Emilia Scandiano, away at 9pm on the Virtus Medicina field. To close the picture, the highly anticipated derby valid for third place between Francesco Francia (third) and Cmp Global (fourth), on the pitch today at 7pm.
Finally, we are starting to glimpse the end of the regular season of Regional Division 1, now in its fourth to last day. There are still many situations to be resolved for the first four places that are worth the post-season. In group A, all eyes are on the queen Giardini Margherita, who will receive Reggiolo on Monday at 8.10pm to maintain the leadership, but who will have an eye on the chasing group at -2. Among them Vis Persiceto, on the pitch tomorrow at 6pm against Voltone, and the pair formed by Audace Bombers and Vignola, who will compete in the big match today at 7.30pm. In group B, 4 Torri-Granarolo stands out today at 6.30pm: third place is up for grabs.
