Bubbio. «It was certainly one of the best tests of the season: we fought and even missed the opportunity to get back into the race with a score of 5-7 for them: in the 13th game we played the unique chase, losing it, the possible 6-7 that would have reopened the game.”

Strong start from Faccenda and his teammates, helped a lot by Bruno who immediately made it 1-0; then a local draw for 1-1, but a sudden extension by the guests which takes the lead to 5-1. Stefano Marenco and his teammates didn’t give up and went into the break two games down 3-5.
The second half saw S.Marenco increase the range of the ball in service but Faccenda was no exception, adding two plays to take the lead 7-3. Bubbio doesn’t let go: they score two more, getting closer and going 5-7, but the last two games belong to Monticellese who gets the point and relaunches themselves into the top part of the rankings.
