On Sunday Ortona plays host to Alessano. Many great players on court and two teams desperate to take points worth gold. Cernic, Piscopo and Bulgarian outside hitter Jeliazkov are the men to watch out for in the visitors’ team.

“In spite of their position in the league table, Alessano has excellent players who can make it very hard for us – said coach Lanci – We need to be extremely careful and find our way through the difficult times. We really want to get this recent positive trend going. We want the same attitude seen in Rome, limit our lapses, and we want to keep improving game after game”.
