pavia

Cus Pavia Ruby gives in on the friendly field of Cravino to Rugby Rho in the first leg of the interregional phase of Serie C.

The start of the race immediately highlights the strength of the Rodense melee, the Pavesi are forced to retreat and the diving goal arrives after the collection of the oval. 0-5. They are still the guests who arrive at the heavy marking, practically a photocopy of the first goal: advancing scrum, ball collected and deposited beyond the white line for the 0-10 with which the first half ends. At the resumption the Cussini seem more determined and determined to put the race on tracks more suited to their characteristics. This is how the first Pavese marker arrives: Brandani starts on the wing, kicks deep to jump over the first line of defense and with another five-a-side football extends the trajectory up to the goal area where he is the first to arrive and crush. Marconi makes no mistake with the conversion and we are at 7-10.

The game continues with a fair balance, the touch has settled and the scrum, while suffering, manages to keep some playable balls. Unfortunately, however, when the game returns to the 22 Pavia, Rho’s scrum returns to make a big voice and after three consecutive fouls, the referee opts for the technical try. 7-17 and everything to be redone. The game is now firmly in the opposing half of the pitch, and it is still Brandani, triggered on the wing, to mark the goal, then transformed by Marconi, of 14-17. The enthusiasm is sky high, but after a few minutes the spirits are cooled by a free kick that brings the red and white back 14-20 and a few minutes to try the comeback. They settle in the 22 opponents, but some inaccuracies nullify the possibility of marking again. At the triple whistle the cussinis give credit to the winners, but they have shown that they have the character and the qualities to fight for it until the end. –
