Despite the elimination, the season ended with a playoff series to remember. Loreto gave Castellana Grotte a hard time pushing them to the tie-break. The club will not forget the thrilling tie-break victories over Santa Croce in the previous round and the one away from home in game 3 in Castellana Grotte. Despite some physical problems, the lads showed all their heart and could not have done any better.

“We have been agonizingly close, we forced a fifth set against a team that is aiming to go in the top division – said coach Fracascia – We have had a few physical problems but reaching the quarters and threatening this team is already an excellent result”.
