The activity of the ‘Special’ teams does not stop. Once the ‘official’ commitments are over, with the National Final in Tirrenia on 18-19 May, there is space for the always popular mini-tournaments which take place on the initiative of some teams. This is the case of the ‘Special Cup’, played on Saturday 1st June in the Monza sports centre, the ‘Luigi Berlusconi-Monzello’.

In Brianza there were Monza Arcobaleno, Cagliari again (with its two ‘twinned’ teams, the Sardinian Una Ragione plus and Minerva Tukiki from Milan) and the Insuperabili, present with both the men’s and women’s teams . In an atmosphere of friendship and love for sport, two mini-tournaments were held, one at the Second and one at the Third Level. Both were won by the Insuperabili, while the Fair Play award was given to an athlete from the Monza Arcobaleno.
