Scandicci Tournament – The UYBA yields to the tie-break: Il Bisonte Firenze wins 3-2. Finalina with Vallefoglia
UYBA falls against Il Bisonte Firenze at the tie-break and sees the final of the Scandicci tournament fade: the Florentines celebrate 3-2.
Many regrets for Olivotto and companions who started the match well, going forward for 2 sets to 0, but then suffered the recovery of the Tuscan team. Against the team from Bellano, still lacking in Nwakalor and with the free holder Panettone out, Marco Musso has deployed at the start Lloyd – Lualdi, Olivotto – Zakchaiou, Degrade – Omoruyi, Zannoni free. From the third set many changes: even the new arrival on the field Stigrot (first for Omoruyi and then for Degradi) and revolutionized the training with inside Colombo for Olivotto e Bressano for Zannoni.
Red and white top scorer Loveth Omoruyi with 16 pointsThe two power plants Olivotto (8 in two sets with 4 walls) and Zakchaiou (11 with 3 walls) also did well. An important offensive contribution also for Degradi and Stigrot (11 points each in three sets each, with the German who impressed at the debut). Best scorer of the match was the former Herbots butterfly (18). In the afternoon final for the third place against the loser of the second semifinal Vallefoglia; start at 15.30.
