It closes the Serie B championship of Bologna and Pieve. An all in all positive outcome for Bolognese rugby which closes the group with its teams as the third and fifth forces of the championship respectively. On the one hand Bologna finishes on the podium demonstrating, despite Romagna’s at times unshakeable supremacy, that they are an excellent team and can still hope for a repechage. On the other hand, a genuine reality that perfectly embodies the ideals of this sport and he gives, he gives himself and gives us a fifth place as spectacular as it was unpredictable on the eve. The two matches, of which the result counted relatively, ended with another resounding rossoblù victory and with the most painless of the Pieve defeats.
Bologna Rugby
Bologna’s season ends with a party. In a packed Bonori, Brolis’ team closes the championship with another success with a bonus that leaves open the possibilities of repechage. Against the Lions Amaranto ends 66-26. The race is seaside. After two minutes the hosts are already in the lead: the usual Quadri scores. The Livorno team didn’t like it and, with a nice, well-ordered melee action, they equalized immediately. the bill. Proud reaction from Bologna who scored three times. Priola opens. Then the scene takes over Zambrella who, with a high-class shot, recovers his own kick on the fly after a run of over fifty metres. Captain Soavi gives the premature bonus, just before another heavy marking of the guests from an orderly scrum. Before going to the locker room Zambrella again overwhelms the defense for the partial 33-14.
At the start of the second half Soavi immediately repeated for his personal brace with a trademark action: recovery of the oval and annihilation of the defence. The ending is pyrotechnic: two more goals from Livorno, which take away the satisfaction of the bonus point, and four from Bologna with Campestri, Priola and Teresi twice to close on the 66-26 .
After the match the minirugby teams they invade the field for the last, beautiful, snapshot of the season.
Rugby Pieve 1971
In Modena there is essentially no competition. The mathematical fifth place added to a very long list of injuries leads to a defeat, honorable yes but never in question, against a Modena essentially without reserves. The first half ends 21-5 with Balboni’s team responding with Cocchiarella to the two Modena scores, but then surrendered to the excessive power of the hosts who, between the two halves, closed the match with two identical maul tries scored, respectively, by Ori and Rodriguez. In the second half Modena spread with goals from Venturelli, Assandri and Pergola twice. In the middle the last seasonal joy signed by Pritoni. Finish 45-12.
But the result does not affect the season of a team truly capable of achieving a feat. Built in house, with a lineup full of young people from the nursery.
