All the clouds seems to have gone away from Mantova now. In 10-15 days, a clear blu sky settled in, as Mantova remembers its great level of play, already seen in the middle of the first half of championships. The group worked hard, corrected some of their mistakes and managed to regain the necessary confidence to do well on court.

The change of coach brought the desired effect. The boys responded well, pulling together in the same direction. That led to two successive wins in 2009, 6 points, and revived hopes in an A2 league that remains very open.
