So far the Alto Canavese has played a very good first phase, made up of 6 wins and 2 defeats, reaching the summit in cohabitation with the leaders Ciriè at 18 points, but for a worse set quotient (2.2 against 1.75) the altocanavesana team is second in the standings.

Looking at the 8 league games, I had to replay one, I would say the one with Ciriè, on the return: our goal is now to win both in Savigliano on Saturday, and the recovery with Acqui Terme, getting 6 points, then we hope that Ciriè, who must playing the last season of the championship on Saturday, before another 2 recoveries, against Savigliano and against Acqui Terme loses a few strokes, so we will be first in the group and we could thus start thinking about the second phase in May with even more conviction in our means. There will be no relegations, but we want to have a season to be framed ». In the standings: Ciriè and Alto Canavese points 18; Savigliano 17; Acqui 10; Pavic Romagnano sesia 5; Sant’Anna San Mauro Torinese 1.
Even at home Volpianese enthusiasm is skyrocketing, as explained by the band Federica Cane, 24 years old from Castellaro, in the province of Imperia, but resident in Turin and newly graduated in physiotherapy: «We are facing a wonderful season, we thought we were doing well, but not like this. Saturday we are playing for the primacy of the group with Caselle and it would be the culmination of a dream to be able to finish this first phase at the top of the standings. What to improve? The continuity of the game – says Cane -. If we could replay a match, we would certainly choose the one with Pinerolo in the first leg, we had lost 1-3 playing in midweek recovery for positivity at Covid-19 within their roster ». This is the ranking of the mini group A2: Volpianese 21; Boxes 19; Pinerolo 15; Chieri 12; Labormet Turin 11; Piossasco 0. –
