Important victory this afternoon for Padova in its last friendly game before the start of the season. It swept a Verona team that had all its starters on court. This was a hard-fought game but Padova had the upper-hand in the clutch time.
“We managed to win it even if Verona had its best line-up – said a satisfied sport director Stefano Santuz – This was a good game, you could see the boys are in good shape. We have seen some long rallies and great digs. Just a few days from the league debut, I am satisfied with the level seen today”.
