They will be C9 Arco Riva against Aldeno Destra Adige on the one hand and the derby of the capital between Bolghera and Trentino Volley temptations on the other, the two semi-finals of the men’s C series. Therefore, the final will certainly be played on May 25th or 26th by a team from southern Trentino and one from the capital.
These are the results of the two return semi-finals staged between yesterday and today, which also resulted in Anaune’s elimination from the playoffs. In fact, the boys coached by Norberto Gottardi, after losing the first leg against Bolghera at home 3-1, received the same result of 3-1 (20-25, 25-14, 25-16, 25-18). even within the friendly walls of the PalaClarina. The orange team from Trento Sud, led by Mauro Lazzeri, thus secured the pass for the semi-finals, avoiding the meeting with C9 Arco Riva in the semi-final and guaranteeing themselves, with this first place in the quarter-finals, also the possibility of playing the match at home. return against Trentino Volley.
An Itas Trentino that snatched second place in these quarter-finals after a return match in Nomi against Destra Adige that was very close and fought just like the first match. It ends 2-3 in favor of the very young home team Itas (26-24, 24-26, 18-25, 25-19, 10-15), same result as the first leg but this time in favor of Trentino Volley. And although the final positions of these quarter-finals, with associated semi-final pairings, would have been determined by the four-way ranking, the Golden Set was still played, won by Trentino Volley 15-11.
Without the Golden Set, scheduled for the elimination rounds, but with the ranking at four after the fifth set the two teams were equal in everything: points, games won/lost, set ratio obviously. The final position would have been decided by the points quotient, where by subtracting 15 points from Itas and 11 from Aldeno we would have a total score of 214 committed and 208 conceded for Itas (points quotient of 1.0288) while for the Destra Adige it would have reached 208 done and 214 conceded with a points ratio of 0.97). However, therefore, baby Itas would have been ahead of coach Ondertoller’s boys by a handful of points.
The two semi-finals, therefore, will be played on the weekend of 4-5 May with the first legs in Nomi and at PalaBocchi, while on the weekend of 11 and 12 May the return matches scheduled for Arco and at the PalaClarina in Trento will be staged. .
