Two matches were played on Tuesday evening: after the postponement of the Cuneo match (which will be played on Wednesday evening), there was also nothing to be done for the Dogliani match given the pitch was still heavyafter the inspection of the two teams (recovery on 2 July with kick-off at 9pm).
In the clash at the top between Araldica Castagnole and Olio Roi Acqua San Bernardo Imperiese, proof of character from Raviola and his teammates who concede only one game to their opponents. Balance at the start with the Imperia team, however, more concrete on the decisive chases, recovering a series of games with the Castagnolesi first at 40. The away team thus takes off, the home team is unable to counterattack: 1-9 for the Olio Roi Acqua San Bernardo Imperiese which is worth the eleventh point in the ranking.
In the other match on Tuesday evening, Alta Langa won in Bormida. «A vital point for us – explains Stefano Dogliotti, director of the away team – achieved with a careful performance by the whole team, with few errors». Cats and companions find a break of two games at the start, 1-3, which they manage to maintain until the start of the second half. Only in the last game of the second half did captain Barroero’s team come close to catching up, taking the lead at 40-15, then losing it with the advantage. At 5-7, Alta Langa made the winning move for the final 5-9.
