The volleyball season ends with the Regions Trophy-Aequilibrium Cup which concluded last Friday in Corigliano Rossano. An important experience for volleyball players from Liguria, with the same age groups from the other regional representatives arriving in Calabria from all over Italy.
The results of the last day of the event guarantee both teams the chance to ingresso in pool A. Two routes, both ending at fourteenth placealso conditioned by an certainly unlucky draw.
The women’s team by the selector Luca Parodi – the expedition included the player Sophia Fox (CogoValle), the assistant coach Massimo Pusceddu (CogoValle) and the accompanying manager Anna Sotti (Volare Volley) – immediately crossed paths with Tuscany and Veneto, who later revealed themselves to be the fourth and fifth forces in the Trophy, and against the Tuscans it was a good battle that ended in the third set. With the move to pool B, clear successes came against Valle D’Aosta and Basilicata, both by two sets to zero, before facing the second day of pool B, characterized by the victory against Molise (2-0) and the defeat arrest, with a similar score, remedied by Trentino. The rematch, against the girls from Trentino, came this morning. 2-0 (25-22 25-18), before losing to Umbria 0-2 (20-25 22-25).
“Girls and boys faced the Regions Trophy with commitment and attachment to the colors of their representative – he states Anna Del Vigo, President of FIPAV Liguria – Our volleyball players fought like lionesses in a very complicated first day, against the Venetians and Tuscans, and perhaps the very tough draw deprived them of the possibility of climbing a few more positions in a very level tournament where there were also some surprises with the fall of some giants”.
