Covid, Livorno-Pavia postponed. Vigevano plays

Too many positives among the Tuscans, recovery to be decided. Elachem faces Sangiorgese (duo at 18): delicate match

PAVIA

The match of the 26th day between Pielle Livorno and Riso Scotti, which should have been played last night at the Modigliani Forum in the city of Labron, has been postponed for Covid. For now, no recovery date, although it will probably be played on Wednesday 27 April or 4 May, with a starting time that varies between 19 and 20.30.

That it was a risky trip was already leaked on Friday afternoon, when the Pavia company was alerted by the managers of Pielle Unicusano of the three positive cases found in the team group. Yesterday morning, the new round of swabs has pushed the cases up beyond the threshold of six that allows you to request and obtain a referral. The team from Pavia, however, regularly presented itself at the PalaRavizza waiting for news from Livorno. The president Lele Caserio received the official communication in the middle of the morning that the match would be postponed. Coach Ugo Ducarello, seeing that the central field of via Treves was free, took the opportunity to play a couple of hours of training.

“The official postponement arrived from the federbasket a few minutes before the start – explains the team manager of Pavia, Alberto Rai – the times to recover the game are now a bit tight, given that Sunday 8 May with the transfer to Omegna the regular season ends. We have already started talking to Livorno to find a midweek date that suits both of us. It is not a very far away match, but in this phase of the championship every match is worth double ».

Vigevano for the ransom

Elachem faces Sangiorgese away today (duo at 18), in a delicate and important match. The boys of the president Donatella Rizzi will have to demonstrate that the team has the right mentality to impose itself in group A, regaining the leadership lost to San Miniato, and that the last two defeats are only the result of a slight and physiological decline. «San Giorgio – observes the ducal club manager, Beppe Della Noce – has been militant for some years in Serie B and has always distinguished itself for having an excellent mix of under and senior capable of doing well in the category. The ranking does not correspond to reality, even if the victory against Livorno Basketball certainly gave morale and confidence to conclude the regular season in the best possible way. Coach Davide Roncari is an excellent coach, and well prepared for the category and he knows how to read the parts very well and change the game plan at any eventuality. The team has as terminal Sebastiano Bianchi arrived during the current season capable of scoring in different ways. Another special guard will have to be Alessandro Voltolini play guard of 2001 with points in his hands. Another profitable winger is certainly Andrea Bargnesi. The roster is completed by Simone Angelucci, Nicolas Alessandrini interesting wing of 2001 with the vice of the basket and the pivots Francesco Toso and Giulio Dushi who give solidity ». –
