Robbio and Voghera set off again, Edimes forced to stop

C silver. Sanmaurense-Settimo postponed to 28 The sports director Suardi: too many loopholes for postponements

the case

The C Silver series restarts after the forced stop due to the Covid emergency, but only two of the three provincial teams will go down on the parquet, given that the match between Edimes Sanmaurense and Settimo, valid for the last round of the first phase of the championship, scheduled this evening, it was postponed to next Friday (again at PalaRavizza at 9 pm) at the request of the host club.

An anomalous interpretation

“We are in the presence of a new fact – comments the sports director of Pavia, Flavio Suardi – that is a game postponed not for cases of full-blown positivity, but because the negativized positives, according to the opposing club, did not have the opportunity to access the visits necessary to return to play. The protocols say that, when you have you are effective, you can play, unless the two clubs agree otherwise and at that point the federation is almost forced to decree the postponement. The problem lies precisely in the footnote to the protocol because all this can give rise to a dubious interpretation. Let us be clear that it is good for us to move the game for a week and above all I am not talking about the specific case, but about a more general situation. The postponement procedure must not be abused, otherwise at this rate the championships risk never ending: by registering, the clubs have accepted the risk that such events could happen. When they occur, you need to have the intellectual honesty to take the field with the players available, as happened to us last season too, when we played 8 games in 18 days ».

So it’s up to Robbio and Voghera. Coach Zanotti’s boys, already certain of their leadership in the standings, will see it on Sunday afternoon (3 pm) on the Corsico parquet, the penultimate formation of the group at 6 points, but always difficult to deal with. Coach Cova’s Olympia, on the other hand, after having missed last Tuesday’s match against Corsico due to various positives found in the team group, will visit Legnano on Sunday at 5 pm, even if with only seven players on the scoresheet.
