The pool of players available to coach Mastrangelo increased today with the arrival of Luis Fernando Joventino Venceslau and Tony Krolis. Each player could be tried for one set in the coming friendly game in Vibo Valentia on Friday.

Meanwhile, we now know a few of Matera’s pre-season friendlies: on the 22nd the team will take part in the Leonardo De Giorgio memorial in Alberobello against Castellana Grotte. On September 29, it will travel to Ortona, while a rematch against Castellana will occur in the Liguori memorial on October 5 (Corigliano could take part too). Matera will face another A1 team on October 12 with Molfetta away.
