"It was a profitable match, which allowed us to support intense work while managing the playing time of all our players."
This was coach Cavina's comment at the end of the friendly test, with scores reset to zero at the end of each quarter, which Derthona took this afternoon at the Codogno Campus against Ucc Piacenza.
Without Greene, who was rested to allow him to recover from the tendonitis in his right wrist which has been plaguing him for a few weeks, the Lions played an intense and precise match, gaining margins in the two central quarters after a balanced first quarter. The return of Formenti to the UCC ranks, while Borsato and the American Bobby Jones were kept at rest while waiting to recover from their respective injuries.
“We thank Piacenza for the hospitality – continued coach Cavina – and we hope for a prompt return to Greene's ranks. However, I am happy to have been able to manage Cosey and Garri, whose playing time was limited according to the work week.
