Memorial Avetta: Sangiorgese’s dream fades in the final

ST. GEORGE

The Borgonese, overcoming the Sangiorgese by 11-9 in the final, won on Sunday 9 in the second edition of the memorial Flavio Avetta, a small bowls tournament organized by Sangiorgese. The participation was massive: 82 teams competing. At the final of the event played in San Giorgio (the first part involved other Canavesan bowls) the family and the wife Filomena of the strong Canavese player who died in October 2018 were also present. The final was fought. The Borgonese that lined up Daniele Cigolini, Mauro Scapino, Matteo Bardella and Alberto Guatta managed to prevail only in the final over the Canavese players who had Roberto Doria, Giuseppe De Glaudi, Francesco Messonier and Gian carlo Ponzetti on the field. In the semifinals, the Borgonese beat Ivrea’s San Bernardo 13-2. The Canavese training was formed by Giuseppe Rinaldo Gianino, Cristian Modina, Giuseppe Gillio Tos and Fabrizio Rizzato. While in the other the Sangiorgese surpassed the Biella sports plate by 13-9. In the quarter-finals the Sangiorgese overcame the Nuova Boccia di Alessandria 13-2, while the San Bernardo in an all-Canavese challenge beat the Brb Ivrea at the end of an uncertain match up to the final siren and ended at 10-9. The Ivrea team that had won the first edition in 2020 lined up the same team that had imposed itself at the time: Aldino Bellazini, Luigi Grattapaglia, Fulvio Crestodina and Cesare Curtoli. The first edition of the Renato Benedetto memorial (former president of the Canavese technical and territorial committee of bowls) took place in Rivara, a pair competition. The team of Tola di Chivasso (Amerigo Baglioni and Franco Albano) won 8-7 against Mappanese (Davide Lucisani and Alessandro Vaula). –
