Varzi removes the shadows and returns to the play-off area But the goal remains in the balance

VARZI

Varzi, back from two consecutive 4-2 knockouts (Castanese and Vergiatese), seemed to have compromised his way to conquer not only a place on the playoff grid but also that of being able to actually play it. The -10 of detachment from Castanese, second in the standings, would have (according to regulation) precluded the possibility of the grenade (albeit fifth) from playing the semifinal play off, at the home of Castanese, better placed and with two results out of three from her. However, after Varzi’s 2-1 victory over Club Milano and Castanese’s simultaneous setback, the gap has returned to 7 points (55-48). Three days from the end, the play off Castanese-Varzi would be played. But in addition to keeping the Castanese at the right distance (maximum 9 points), it is also necessary to look back to avoid that Verbano (sixth) recover the disadvantage of 3 lengths.

At the same time there is the possibility of “betting” the Sestese, fourth (today he would play the other semifinal play off at the home of Vogherese) who boasts only one point advantage. The fourth place, for Varzi, would however mean playing the play off with Voghe, in a derby to the last breath, with Giacomotti’s Rossoneri who will have the right, for the best ranking, to face him at Parisi, leaving at that point to Sestese the task of dealing with Castanese. Two insidious away matches in front of the Varzi: on Easter Monday (Monday 18 April) derby in Pavia, Sunday 24 April, at Gavirate, two teams in full tussle to avoid the play-outs or get the best position. Then on Sunday 1st May the leaders from Varesina will host the Chiappano who at that point, ranking and calendar in hand, could already have the D sewn on the chest. –
