Grosseto: Forty years after the last apparition, the Grosseto Skating Club returns to the national rink hockey finals. From Thursday, on the Camaiore track, the under 11 quintet led by Fabio Bellan will shine among the best Italian youth teams. The young athletes from Grosseto earned access to the phase that awards the championship, thanks to a truly extraordinary championship, in which they came in second place behind the battleship Camaiore, which finished with 18 victories and no defeats. Our home champions instead achieved 15 wins, one draw and just two defeats, with the Queen, reaching something like 206 goals, finishing in double figures nine times.
The Skating Club presents itself in Versilia with the aim of making a good impression first of all, happy to have brought the historic Grosseto club back to the top of the national movement. A rule, sincerely contestable, removed Alice Sorbo and Viola Ugas from the team for these last matches of the year, two protagonists of the regular season, who had obtained an exemption from the federation to play only in the first phase. However, their friends will try to win for them too, who will be in the stands cheering wildly to bring Bellan’s team even higher, the coach who has allowed the very young athletes to grow and stand out with extraordinary matches and a really super attack.
THE CALENDAR. The Skating Club makes its debut in the preliminary round on Thursday at 9am against Seregno, while at 2pm it will compete against Teleamedical Sandrigo. CP Grosseto concludes the first phase on Friday by facing Correggio Hockey at 10am and Amatori Pesaro at 3pm.
