Robur Saronno did not make it against Virtus Lumezzane, a team equipped to win that kept expectations and flew to Serie B together with the other battleship, the Aurora Desio, which got the better of Borgomanero.
In Chieri it was not a walk for the Brescians, however, put in serious difficulty by the boys of coach Tato Grassi, good at staying in the game and also putting their heads in front of their opponents in the third quarter.
In the hard-fought final it is the plays of the Argentine duo Merlo / Gamazo and the free shots of Mastrangelo that determine Lumezzane’s success for 75-71, with a bloody ball lost by Gurioli after a good rebound to fuel the regrets at Az Pneumatica.
The team received thanks from the management and the mayor Airoldi: «You are our heroes, you have played a space match and you have come within a shot of victory and promotion. It was a sensational final and a sensational season in which the seniors took the boys by the hand, all led by coach Tato Grassi up to the highest level of regional basketball, bringing high quality basketball and a lot of #talentoRobur in all the venues in the region. Congratulations to Virtus Lumezzane and Aurora Desio for the well-deserved promotions in Serie B at the end of a very special season! “, Is the message posted by the company on social media, while Airoldi wrote:”Congratulations to Robur Basket Saronno, who played in the final of the Serie C Gold championship, thus touching the promotion to Serie B. Despite the defeat, on behalf of the citizens of Saron, I congratulate the club, the coach and the athletes for the path traveled in a difficult year, marked by the halts of the pandemic.
