Jesi – A greeting with your head held high to their fans, for the last home match of the season.
And the ovation for Daniele Boo Piergirolami, pillar of the Seniors who leaves rugby playing. He told these stories on the last Sunday of Serie Bl “Latins” of the 2023-24 championship. In the field, Rugby Jesi ’70 gave way, 7-26, to the fourth force in the rankings, Modena, on the penultimate day of the tournament. But we don’t stop, in fact next weekend will be, if possible, even more stimulating and exciting.
In fact, on Saturday 4 May, the Lions anticipate the final match of the Seniors year on the Gubbio field because then, Sunday 5th, they will be back at the “Latins” committed, this time, to organizational support for the success of the new edition of the Tournament “Frederick II” of mini rugby, which will fill the facility with the enthusiasm of hundreds of very young rugby players from all over Italy.
«A beautiful Sunday, finally with the sun and with a long, well-deserved applause for Boo – comment coach Marco De Rossi, coach of Rugby Jesi ’70 -. Daniele Piergirolami stops playing and was given a nice ovation for his last home game. Excellent player, front line, a life in Rugby Jesi ’70, he gave a good example to the younger ones of how to behave until the end. And I was happy with the performance we put in, regardless of the final defeat. Against the top teams in the championship we had almost always conceded over 50 points, this time against Modena we played an excellent match, we held our ground and attacked a lot. So good”.
For the last match of the championship in Gubbio it is brought forward to Saturday 4 May.
