The friendly game played this afternoon at the Kioene Arena went to Ravenna 3-1. Padova played better in reception and attack but Koumentakis and Ravenna’s blocking made the difference.

“Overall, the team had a good effort but we had ups and downs this time – explained coach Baldovin – We have not been clinical on the counter. This has been the key of the game. Having said that, I think the reception was excellent again today, which is great news considering they’re all players born in 1995, they really held their own out there”.
