New challenge for Ortona who plays host to Vibo Valentia. Ortona needs some points out of this big game to start moving back up the grades but nothing will be easy against a Vibo team on a four-game winning streak and currently second in the table. They have setter Pinelli and their star man as outside hitter, the Slovakian Michalovic. A lot of experience too among the other spikers with Casoli, De Paola, Vedovotto.

“This is definitely an important game – said coach Lanci – We’ll be up against Peter and Antonio, who have been valuable players for us, surely a tricky game for us. I hope the fans will come in numbers tomorrow and for the rest of the season in spite of the difficulties which are part of sport and are always there. Our supporters have always been our secret weapon”.
