The Terra di Bari derby is in the near future for Bcc Tecbus Castellana Grotte: there’s great anticipation for the final first leg of the Credem Banca men’s national Serie A3 volleyball championship. Tomorrow, Sunday, December 21, 2025, with the first serve at 7:00 PM, the team coached by Giuseppe Barbone will take on the JV Gioia del Colle field in a super match. This is a top-notch team that, after struggling early in the season, is enjoying strong results in this final stage of the first half of the season.
New Mater enters the match as league leaders, with 23 points, a four-point advantage over their closest rivals, Reggio Calabria, who were held back by Gioia del Colle in the final round. Eight wins in their first eight games have cemented their lead, marking the third-longest winning streak in the club’s history (only their nine consecutive victories in the 2011/2012 Serie A2 season, between October 16th and December 4th, and their 12 consecutive victories in the 2009/2010 Serie A2 season, between November 1st and January 10th, have beaten them). Their goal is to finish the entire round undefeated.
