Winter Queens from Excellence to Promo: another 180 ‘for the first verdicts

The pre-Christmas sprint, between big matches and challenges on velvet Il Casteggio in 1st Category is the only one with the title already in his pocket

PAVIA

The only one with the winter title already in his pocket is Casteggio, in group O of the First category: 90 ‘from the conclusion of the first leg, the advantage of Matteo Landini’s yellow and blue over the most direct pursuer, Vigevano, is 5 points, unbridgeable in a single day. In the last engagement before the halfway point, the Oltrepadani will face Cavese away (in the recovery of the shift skipped at the Immaculate Conception due to the abundant snowfall), while the ducals will receive a visit from Gambolò in the Lomellino derby.

A platonic title as long as you want, that of the queen of December, but which counts for morale and self-esteem. From Excellence to Promotion, 180 minutes are still missing, six points to be won and still precarious hierarchies that could be overturned by the pre-Christmas sprint. In group A of Excellence, the only one of the four provincial teams still theoretically in the running for the mid-season scepter is Varzi, 5 points behind the current leaders Castanese, while Varesina second in the ranking is at 25 but has a race less than competitors. In third position Sestese and Verbano (at 24), then the grenades of mister Alessandro Pagano, who will try on Sunday away with Club Milano to shake off the air of crisis – one point in four games – and then face Pavia on Wednesday 22. in the Chiappano derby missed on 8 December (unless there is a further and perhaps probable postponement to the Epiphany). Varzi hopes for a favor from Voghe’s cousins, who will challenge the leaders in Castano Primo; for Varesina, home match against Base 96 Seveso; finally Verbano in Sant’Alessio against the Pavese Academy and Sestese at home against Calvairate. In the last round (scheduled for 22/12 or 6/1, the clubs have the right to agree by choosing the date), Calvairate-Castanese, Varesina with the tail light Settimo, Verbano-Sestese and, precisely, Varzi-Pavia (or Pavia -Varzi if the clubs will agree on a reversal of the field since the climatic conditions do not facilitate the use of the Chiappano).

In Promotion (group F), the favorite for the winter title is Magenta, leader with 34 points, 3 more than Virtus Binasco and 8 over Robbio (who, however, has one game less), Landriano, Assago and Union Basso Pavese . Sunday 19, the leaders will receive a visit from the Viscontea Pavese, a direct confrontation between Binasco and Union, Robbio-Locate, Sedriano-Landriano and Assago-Alagna. –
