ANCONA – On Sunday 19 May at 3.30 pm at the municipal swimming pool of Romano di Lombardia, in the province of Bergamo, the first act of the A2 series women’s water polo playoff final will be staged between the Bergamo team Orobica, first classified in the northern group, and the Doric team of Cosma Vela Ancona, second place in the south and winner of the semi-final series over Aquatica Torino. First act of the series next Sunday in Lombardy, game 2 on Sunday 26 May at the Saline swimming pool in Senigallia, possibly beautiful again in the Bergamasco area the following Sunday. Whoever wins the series is promoted to Serie A1. Coach Milko Pace’s Dorics, after going out last year in game 3 of the final against Locatelli, this time want to hit the target.
Despite the exhausting season which has seen them without the Passetto swimming pool for matches and training for three months. But now there is no more time for justifications, excuses, there is no more time to look back, there is only one objective: to win on Sunday to secure half of the A1 series. «It’s a playoff final that we’re trying to get to in the best possible way – says the coach – despite having had to deal with various problems, not just those in the pool, with several girls who were out for various reasons. We have several players who are not at their best, but we still have to give ourselves one hundred percent, we will have to put our whole heart into it. Because we will face a team that has never lost all season and has had three weeks to prepare for this match. But we are optimistic, we want to have a very good playoff.”
