MEN’S BOARD
Lombard triumph in Calabria. The regional representative of Lombardy has been the protagonist of an excellent path spiced with six victories obtained between the first and second phase; yesterday the success in the semi-final against Lazio, beaten 2-1 (22-25, 15-11) has effectively opened the doors for this morning’s final, won with full merit 2-0 (25-17, 25-20) against the regional selection ofEmilia Romagna. This is the sixth title for Lombardy after the successes obtained in the 2000, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2018 editions.
These are the words of the Lombardy coach Daniele Morato: “We are very happy. We managed to confirm last year’s result with a different group so for us all this represents a double satisfaction. It’s a beautiful feeling. We played a very solid match, with few errors, just a few at the beginning because perhaps there was a bit of tension. Over the course of the tournament we were able to suffer, even mature a little, actually learning to react to mistakes which are human and above all belong to this category. I’m very proud of my boys. A success that represents a small step forward also on a character level. Today’s match was difficult. Nothing is easy, especially in the final of an event of this kind. We managed the match well; in the first set, serving was decisive because we kept our opponents away from the net. In the second set, after some errors, we then recovered, bringing the game back on track. We are friends with Giovanni Preti and before the match we said to each other that the best team would win, today it went well for us.”

Every athlete and every staff member put their best foot forward and the result showed. I would like once again to thank our Simonetta Avalle who, even if she is not present here in Corigliano-Rossano, has shown us the right way to achieve this great success. For me today represents an incredible victory, in my first experience I got first place on the podium, I couldn’t ask for more. We confirmed last year’s success, it’s true but it wasn’t easy even if every coach’s goal is to bring the prior team to victory. The girls? Amazing, they were the real protagonists, we like to make them be such and together with the help of the staff we succeeded. I’m really proud of them”.
