For the second year in a row, coach Matteo Grazi’s 2008 group graduated as Regional Champions, and did so with one game to spare thanks to a home win against Cesenatico and the simultaneous defeats of Ferrara and San Lazzaro, which finished second and third, respectively.
After the defeat in the first game, the bianconeri took the court with great energy and aggressiveness, immediately finding a 12-2 partial that steered the match and successfully resisting all comeback attempts by the Romagnoli.
On April 28 the last championship match will be held in San Lazzaro with the result now irrelevant for the final standings, while from May 12 to 14 the interregional round will be held in Tolentino (MC), valid for access to the U15 Eccellenza National Finals.
