The last match of the season, at the TermeMargheritadiSavoia stadium of Cus Bari, ended with a +2 in the standings thanks to the victory achieved in the tie-break against Green Volley Galatone. What, on the eve, was labeled as a match without particular ideas, turned into a match played with great intensity by both sides. What ignited the spirits was the desire not to disfigure and close the championship positively and some dubious balls. In front of the usual large audience of fans, the Cussini confirmed the positive trend and highlighted the technical growth of the group. However, on the pitch, it wasn’t easy. The Salento team has shown that occupying the fourth position in group H is no coincidence. Strengthened by superior category elements, Galatone was able to immediately establish its game. The partial of the first set proves it: 15-25. However, the guests’ plans were ruined by Cus Bari who gradually conquered the field with the winger El Moudden, the opposite player Fuentes deployed in a role that was not his and the author of a brilliant performance, the twenty year old opposite player Lorusso and the setter Palattella on the shields . Up until the fourth set the game was point to point with the two teams capable of even canceling out significant advantages. Some doubtful balls triggered nervousness and pride and fueled the match even more. The fifth set was the prerogative of the least fouled and most decisive team: the SNS Cus Bari Pallavolo. “We wanted to finish with a victory by moving the bar in the standings – declared coach Corrado Mancini at the end of the match – it started out as a friendly match, however, it immediately turned into a real match where no blows were spared. The whole group confirmed our expectations and I am happy that someone who was more in the shadow during the championship was able to show off his team-mates by showing that he had contributed to their stay in Serie B and showing an interesting technical upgrade that It will definitely be useful for next year.”
