Ghn Balzana Siena regional champion Uisp Amateurs basket
I coach guys Alessandro Covili repeat the success of the last few years, confirming themselves as Regional Champions, as well as Provincial, in the Uisp Amateur Basketball Championship, a title obtained last May 20 in the final against Apartments Siena, a hard-fought match that ended with a score of 67-59. This success allowed the Ghn Balzana to play the regional final four in Massa and Cozzile against the winners of the other provincial concentrations. In the semifinals, the Sienese overcame the Augies Montecatini, a super-gifted formation, with the result of 62-52, but the real feat was accomplished by the guys from Covili on the occasion of the very final played against the Butchers Florence, defeated at the end of a long battle by a single point, 93-92, after an extra time. A heart-pounding epilogue with the basket and do it immediately 3 seconds from the end by Corsi. What happened in the last few bars of the game is nothing short of hallucinating: Ghn Balzana goes forward by 4 lengths with 23 “seconds from the end (91-87), only to find herself 1 to 16” seconds behind the siren (91-87) 92), but the time-out called by coach Covili, who designed a winning offensive solution, made it possible to definitively overcome the Florentines and dare to start the more than deserved celebrations by the Sienese. Now Ghn Balzana from 16 to 19 June will have to defend the Italian title won last year, with the conquest of being able to play with everyone, thanks to the mentality of a winning group built by patron Ghini and held together by Covili, an authentic driver and leader. from the bench that has won the last seven consecutive titles up for grabs at various levels from 2019 onwards.
