Positive joint training for the Cucine Lube Civitanova against the Sieco Service Ortona, a team that is about to face the Serie A2 Credem Banca tournament. At 5pm the two teams found themselves in front of the net at the Eurosuole Forum in Civitanova Marche, giving rise to interesting game situations albeit with a few too many errors. The third test of the preseason also ended with a victory for the red and whites, capable of winning in four sets (22-25, 25-18, 25-23, 25-23) against the Abruzzo team, who fielded former cook Stefano Patriarca and two athletes who grew up in the Lube cantera, Diego Cantagalli and Tommaso Fabi.

Among the hosts, in addition to the players present from the first team, namely Francesco Bisotto, Enrico Diamantini, Jacopo Larizza, Matheus Motzo, Jakob Thelle and Ivan Zaytsev, with Simone Anzani at the edge of the pitch as a spectator, there were some talents of the Volley Lube Academy, Gianluca Cremoni, Francesco Giacomini, Andrea Giani and Gabriele Spina, together with the two Israeli national teams who are training at the Eurosuole Forum, Mark Rura and Shay Mayo Liberman.
