SAN GIORGIO CANAVESE
In the next season of the Serie A bowls championship, which should start in January, in addition to Brb Ivrea, there will also be a Canavese player: Alberto Balmanion, 49 years old from San Giorgio Canavese, tinsmith-plumber by profession.
Balmanion is a bowler for the Nus Valle d’Aosta team, a formation from the Valle d’Aosta. A result pursued already last season, but finally and deservedly achieved only this year, as explained by Balmamion himself: “Last 11 July I celebrated twice: the first is the historic promotion of Nus to Serie A, after winning the final four of A2 in Chivasso and the second time was the victory of Italy at the European Football Championships against England at Wembley – says Balmamion -. Moving on to the final four of bowls, last year we came to play the transition from Serie A2 to Serie A and we were defeated in the semifinals by Dorada from Belluno, this year we managed to go all the way, beating Rosta in the final. , my former team, 17-12. We have finished a season to be framed and above all completed the goal that the company of the president Renato Dalla Zanna had set for itself. The credit goes to everyone, each of us in this season, so special due to the Covid-19 pandemic, has always given its best, both in the regular A2 series and in the final four, with two races, semifinal and final. , in which mentally a shot was not missed ».
The Canavese is already looking to the future: “In the next season we have to prepare ourselves as best we can to play the Serie A championship, which will be much more difficult and demanding: I already played in this category a few years ago in Rosta and we will face very strong and years now in the category as Gaglianico, Perosina and Brb Ivrea ».
Balmamion is particularly keen on the match against the Ivrea players: «For me, when the time comes to face President Bellazzini’s team, I will feel the air of a derby: we will do our best to bring home points – says Balmamion -. I am very happy to be part of a very cohesive group, trained by the coach Pietro Biscardi and formed by Guido Decurtil, Daniele Chadel, Mattia Mana, Ivo Daudry, Claudio Gassino, Mario Suini, Dario Rossato, Marco Hugonin, Luigi Girola, Paolo Majorel, Simone Carrù and Gabriele Bertotti ». –
