Playout: Junior Torrazza (26), Accademia Borgomanero (23), Futurogiovani Vilianensis (18)
Provincial U15 relegation: Vogogna (14), Union Novara (11), BORGOSESIA (5)
While waiting for Città di Baveno to take the field at home to Union Novara, with the aim of taking home the three points that are worth third place, Diavoletti Vercelli draws at home against league leaders Biellese (match ended 0- 0) and fails to overtake. Juve Domo is also still in the running, scoring a lot of goals against Borgosesia, now mathematically relegated. Gozzano draws, sixth and safe from safety against a Borgomanero Academy in the playout zone: Iseppato responds to Montini’s goal. Città di Cossato won the battle for seventh position and overtook them in the standings by beating RG Ticino with Zahir’s hat-trick. Meanwhile, Cecchetti with his goal in the 13th minute of the first half brings more points to a Bulè Bellinzago already qualified for the final stages, a goal that hurts Vogogna, who is heading towards direct relegation. In fact, Futogiovani Vilianensis splits at +4 thanks to the victory at Junior Torrazza signed by Duo.
GROUP B
Final stages: VOLPIANO PIANESE (64), LASCARIS (59), Borgaro Nobis (55)

Provincial U15 relegation: Aygreville (12), Aosta 511 (11), Strambinese (9)
Finals tests for the two already qualified teams, the winner on Sunday is Volpiano Pianese who convinces at Lascaris with goals from Perrier and Saiu. It’s a heated battle for third place between Borgaro Nobis and Alpignano, a match that ended at 2-2, with goals from Lupo and Cannavò answered by a brace from the blue and white Corsini. The draw smiles at Borgaro Nobis, which remains 4 points ahead of Alpignano, which now engages in a long-distance duel with CBS (group C, with one point more) for the best fourth place which is worth the last available place for the final stages. The derby between San Gallo and Pro Eureka ends 1-1, for the green and whites the objective is now to defend their tenth position which will allow them to fight for salvation in the playouts. The winners between Quincinetto Tavagnasco and Pianezza are the Aosta Valley team (with a brace from Totaro and a goal from Scaglia), thus consolidating their seventh position in the standings. However, Pianezza remains +3 from the playout zone thanks to Atletico Cbl’s draw with Charvensod in Monday’s postponement. In the fight not to be directly relegated (there are three teams competing for a single place in the playouts), a fundamental victory for Aosta 511 over Aygreville with a hat-trick from Careri. Virtus Accademia did not take advantage of this, drawing 2-2 against Strambinese who were last in the standings and remained equal on points with Aygreville, with a single point advantage over Aosta 511.
GROUP C
Final stages: SISPORT (60), VANCHIGLIA (60), Lucento (53)
Regional U15 promotion: CBS (52), Spazio Talent Soccer (48), Beiborg (36), Cenisia (33), Beppe Viola (30)
Playout: Polisportiva Bruinese (30), Pozzomaina (17), Rosta (16)
Provincial U15 relegation: Barcanova (13), VENAUS (5), VALLE DI SUSA (4)
Vanchiglia, already qualified, prepares in the best possible way for this season finale by beating Beppe Viola 9-3, a team tied on points with Bruinese, poised between salvation in the regionals and purgatory of the playoffs. Bruinese found the hook thanks to the 3-0 over the already relegated Venaus (goals from Multari, Bruzzese and Benedetto). The Granata reach Sisport in first place, beaten 1-0 by a great CBS team thanks to Belmonte’s goal from the penalty spot: the Rossoneri (in addition to having, for now, the best fourth place in the category) maintain the pace of Lucento, who remain in third place with a small lead thanks to the 2-0 win over Cenisia (Cammarata and Barbetta are the scorers). With Tucci’s brace, Spazio Talent Soccer gets the better of Beiborg. In the hot zone, Barcanova’s victory over Rosta is important, as they can no longer make mistakes if they want to maintain a place at least in the playouts. The match between Pozzomaina and Valle di Susa has been postponed.
GROUP D
Final stages: CHISOLA (64), PINEROLO (59), Giovanile Centallo (48)
Regional U15 promotion: Morevilla (47), Pedona (43), Cuneo Olmo (40), Carmagnola (36), Bra (35)
Playout: Saviglianese (31), Busca (21), Valle Varaita (13)
Provincial U15 relegation: Monregale (12), Piossasco (12), CUMIANA (1)
Three races and a third place to grab: this is the objective shared by Giovanile Centallo and Morevilla. If for Centallo it is Demaj who makes the difference with his brace against Carmagnola, for Morevilla it is Rizzuti, Casetta and Granato who concede the advantage at Cuneo Olmo. Pedona also wins over a Busca now resigned to the playouts, Luca Cavalera finds the opponent’s goal. Between Piossasco and Bra it ends at 1-1, Gigante’s goal in the 10th minute of the first half is answered by Bolognesi in the 26th minute: a useful point for Bra to defend its eighth position, as well as for Piossasco who can still try to climb to the playout, given the proximity of only one point from Valle Varaita. On equal points with Piossasco is Monregale, beaten by Saviglianese (goals from Brundu and Velaj, double from Salomone and hat-trick from Sabena) who are coming close to Bra and dreaming of direct salvation. Everything is easy for the two dominators of the group who have already qualified for the finals: Chisola dominates over Valle Varaita while Pinerolo with Chiericato’s brace and Fonti’s goal defeats Cumiana, already relegated.
GROUP E
Final stages: ASTI (57), San Giacomo Chieri (53), Chieri (50)
Regional U15 promotion: Accademia Casale (45), Derthona (44), Novese (42), Psg (37), Nichelino Hesperia (36)
Playouts: Canelli (34), Acqui (22), Alba Calcio (16)
Provincial U15 relegation: Don Bosco Alessandria (12), Fulvius (9), ALBESE (5)
Asti sealed its passage to the finals by beating rival San Giacomo Chieri 2-3, finding the net twice with Rubba and Sconfianza. Cheri wins at home against Albese: Ricci, Okokon and Bagni are the scorers who allow the group to consolidate third position, while the defeated Albese are mathematically relegated. It ends 0-0 between Accademia Casale, which slips to -5 from third place, and Acqui, now destined for the playouts. It’s poker for Novese, the braces of Penna and Nobile stop a Don Bosco Alessandria which now risks direct relegation, like Fulvius beaten with a poker by Derthona. Celebrate Canelli who triumphed over Alba Calcio, teams who are both currently in the playout zone but with a wide difference in scores: Alba must watch their backs, while the sparkling wine makers are aiming for eighth place Nichelino Hesperia, beaten 1 -3 from PSG, with Bruschetta’s hat-trick.
