Sunday 19 February 2023. After three knockouts in a row (in Vignola, throwing it away, in Sassuolo practically without playing and with Calderara, struggling well beyond the final discard), the Under 14 of INVICTUS Academy they found victory. Postponed (on Thursday 2 March) the first return with Masi, the "Oranges" they went to make a result in Castelfranco Emilia, winning 30.
but yet, it was a tricky match, difficult to get familiar with the very slippery field (it was not possible to play at the Palazzetto, busy for an event) and then defend vigorously, which is absolutely the red thread of our performance, also to find the right pace in attack.
So, after ours +14 in the first action of the third quarter, the hosts have come back until -8 of the 32-40. There finally the boys of Ivan Cicchelli e Luca Branchini they reacted, starting to defend strong and placing a partial from 16 a 5 for the +17 the third siren, to then fly away in the last quarter, touching the +33 and grabbing victory for 80 a 50.
