The big clash between the two main forces of the championship ended rather quickly. Indeed, Castellana Grotte took revenge on the 3-0 loss conceded in the first meeting by sweeping Roma in front of 1800 fans. Popelka was named MVP in a victory that sends Castellana four points clear of Roma in the table.
“There is still a long way to go in the league – said coach Lattari – We have won an important game but to be honest I didn’t expect my boys to execute that well the work done in the gym because Roma is a very strong team”.
