Almost last appeal for Felina, Borzanese, Querciolese, Gatta and Vettus in the penultimate round of the 72nd Mountain Tournament. The five teams are chasing the first hurrah in the CSI event: Felina crosses paths with SPQM Montecavolo to stop the black streak of 3 matches, looking for the turning point to reverse the negative trend of a tournament that has so far been unfortunate. The Cavallari-Pupeschi tandem has been confirmed in defense, with confidence in Farinelli, in attack there should be Righetti, in the hole in the first leg, while the hiring of an external goalkeeper is evaluated; the injured Carobbi and Magnani are still out. Some forced changes, due to the holiday period, in the Matildics of the trainer Unni who fields in defense the reliable Cocconi (Brescello Piccardo), the director Muro (Mezzolara), while in attack there should be the debut of the Milanese Calmi (’99) who has played in Borgo San Donnino; striker Fiocchi (4 hits so far) and midfielder Vaccari are protected. Very high stakes also for Baiso, where the Tuscan striker Regoli should return, who visits the league leaders Villa Minozzo: the locals still hire the former pro Ferrario striker who enchanted in the first leg match, the midfielder Amayah, the stopper Setti and the playmaker Ferrara, while the midfielder Spinola and the suspended Mordini are unavailable. The right side Mamah is part of the local Minozzo park. After having achieved two comebacks in the same number of home matches, Borzanese is counting on the attacking winger Judmir Hoxha (Terre di Castelli), already a protagonist in recent summers with the foothills, to attack the already qualified Tricolore Carpineti who has put in a poker hurrah for the resulting solitary record. Among the Borzanese, renewed trust in the defender Molossi and first token for the midfielder Cremaschi (Real Formigine), while the striker Trombetta should not be there. In Mr. Muratori’s troop, some experiments are planned in the offensive phase to try out new interpreters, while the strong Tuscan central defenders Diana and Ceccotti will be in the match; local park on the wings of enthusiasm always led by Captain Spadaccini.
A real play-off between Gatta and Vettus with the locals condemned to win also because they have one more game than the Enzani. First clash between Olimpia Roteglia and the reigning champions of Cervarezza in a sold-out late game with spectacular choreography. The black and whites have learned from the mistakes made in Collagna and are back with the same squad in search of redemption, while the Termeni launch a front-wheel drive formation. The reconfirmed playmaker Rizzuto will be joined by the bomber Diop who arrives from Chieri together with the defender Moretti, while the director Buffagni and the playmaker Malivojevic are back, the latter returning from vacation; on the road to full recovery the luxury club Fiori.
A do-or-die match also between Querciolese and Collagna: the home team welcomes back the young Romani in defense and proposes the stopper Guerri in place of the defender-goal scorer Minutolo, victim of a strain in the first minutes of the match against Cerredolo, while for the rest everything remains unchanged with the Rolesi Tamagnini-Serroukh and the full-back Vecchi. The Apennine team inserts the talented Montipò (Lentigione) who will have to trigger the former Bagnolese Bocchialini, all the locals are available.
