Derthona's feat of conquering Piacenza fails and the verdict of the championship final is postponed until tomorrow, Saturday evening at the PalaCamagna at 21.15pm. Along the lines of what happened in the first leg of the regular championship, the Bianconeri's match in Emilia was a match with two faces.
An auspicious start with the determination of Rotondo and the bombs of Samoggia and Venuto with the impression of commanding the match even reaching +8 at the end of the first half at 18-26. Second quarter held by Tortona thanks also to the good contribution from the bench of an inspired Strotz, who closed at the interval +6 at 34-40. Abysmal collapse in the third quarter with the home team recovering with a partial of 30-7 led by the immortal Rombaldoni. In the last quarter resistance from Garofalo & co. until the siren, despite a flashback by the Tortonesi at the end with Viglianisi last to surrender. Tickets will be on sale at the PalaCamagna secretariat from today at 17pm to reserve a place on the hottest evening of the year!
