Martinez’s team leaps to B1 by winning the 26th consecutive game. The stars of Pesce, De Stefani and Barcellini shine
CONEGLIANO
It is 20.42 yesterday evening, the Conegliano Team has just scored the third consecutive wall of the second set in the play-off final match 2 against Cortina Express Belluno, winning the partial for 25-11 after winning the first for 25- 12: this is how the promotion to B1 arrives after the 3-0 in the first leg final. It is the second promotion after that of HRK Motta for men from A3 to A2 for men. The race then continued for the honor of signing and to allow Belluno to train, given that the wolves have a second final to climb in a few days. The Conegliano Team celebrates yet another promotion of these years: since 2018, 4 consecutive promotions have arrived: from the first provincial to the D series, then to the C series, then to the B2 series and finally last night to the B1 series, with 26 consecutive victories (streak open). The only point lost along the way dates back to the first day of the regular season, in January; it was in Belluno that Martinez’s team won 3-2. The summer, before it broke out, had raised Franco Da Re, as … king of the market, taking home the director Valeria Pesce after the end of the experience at Volley Maniago. From there, the team’s play improved from training to training. It is said that only after the end of the regular season did Martinez allow a three-day break in a row. Among the surprises there is a certain talent, Chiara Wabersich, who grew up among the hummingbirds of the Ezzelina Carinatese, born in 2003, often in double figures. Then there is Cristina Barcellini: a Cev cup in 2009 and a 2017 championship (the only one of this club) with Novara, gold in the national team at the 2009 Universiade and the 2013 Mediterranean Games. Elisa Mestriner, Lisa Ceschin, Francesca complete the team. Zanin, Elena Robazza, Giorgia De Stefani, Anna Rullo, Anna Feletti, Anna Menegaldo, Chiara Florian, Lisa Gusatti, Giorgia Nordio and Paola Martin. Final score 3-0, the last set ended 25-13. –
