The U16 Fano/Sena was able to capitalize on the great experience gained this year in the national elite championship, triumphing at the 2nd City of Cesena Rugby Tournament – Giorgio Marchi Memorial.
The boys coached by Annunzio Subissati have in fact shown important progress both in terms of play and mental stability in the Cesena youth event, where they suffered just a small drop in concentration in the second match drawn 0-0 against the Formigine Highlanders (MO) . However, the rossoblù qualified for the final by virtue of the best point difference in their triangular tournament, in which they had made their debut by inflicting a peremptory 26-0 on Ravenna. In the challenge for the awarding of the trophy they then showed off a great performance in every respect, evidence of which is the 33-0 with which they managed to beat the Lombard side Lambro (MB).
The other team at the starting line of the 2nd City of Cesena Rugby Tournament – Giorgio Marchi Memorial was Falconara, who came sixth. However, the adventure of the boys (Daniele Santoro, Enrico Ciavaglia, Giovanni Cognini, Giuseppe Marcantognini, Elia Tredicucci and Tomas Mascetti) of the president Giorgio Brunacci’s club on the field with Pesaro Rugby in the Interregional Level 1 U18 category ended in third place. which on the last day saw them on stage in Reggio Emilia against the league leaders Valorugby. Pesaro/Fano were defeated 20-14, but they sold their lives dearly, leaving the result in the balance until one minute from the end. Up until that moment it was in fact 15-14 for the Reggio Emilia team, determined to secure the victory to repel the desperate attempt to overtake by Lyons Piacenza.
During the Fano weekend, it is also worth mentioning the participation of the Scotadets of touch rugby in the eighth edition of “L’Aquila in Touch”, valid as a stage of the national championship. The overall figure of Daniele Falcioni and his teammates was high, brought in from every corner of the country, but it was still a useful outing to improve which culminated in a hilarious third half.
