Bama, here are the opponents There is also Mens Sana – Sport

There is also Juve. But it is not that of Turin, but of Pontedera. The group of “C” Silver has been made official, in which Bama basket Altopascio will participate. The troop of president Sergio Guidi, fresh winner of the series “D” championship (photo), will face these opponents: Costone Siena, Juve Pontedera, Audax Carrara, Folgore Fucecchio, Liburnia, Libertas Montale, Vela Camaiore, Laurentiana Firenze, Valdera basketball, Cmc Carrara, Empoli, Campi Bisenzio, Mens Sana Siena, Invictus Livorno.

A tough grouping with different curiosities. Several derby cities. Derby in Carrara, Livorno, but also in Siena. The team, which will be coached again by coach Giuntoli, just confirmed, will have the honor of competing against the historic Mens Sana, the oldest club in Italy, winner, in the early 2000s, of a flood of championships, partly revoked for the well-known events, with a third place in the Euroleague and many other trophies on the showcase.

Also confirmed the group of BC Lucca in the higher category, in “Gold”. The opponents of the Tonfoni band will be: Spezia, Don Bosco, Agliana, Castelfiorentino, Montecatini Sporting Club, Prato, Cus Pisa, Quarrata, Legnaia Firenze, Arezzo, San Giovanni Valdarno, Virtus Siena, Viking Montecatini (the second team of the spa town), while Cecina should be fished out in “B”.

For Altopascio there is the question of the building as truly urgent. To avoid losing the “C” Silver, the club in via Marconi, sponsored by Bama for years now, has applied to play its home games for the 2021-2022 season at the “Pertini” sports hall in Ponte Buggianese, in Valdinievole, which it has already hosted the rosablu team for several seasons in the past. The gym in via Marconi, in fact, an ancient and small facility (not of the field, but of what in football would be called “field by destination” along the lateral perimeter), cannot be approved for the “C” series. A big problem. Yes, because in the small building of the Pistoia village (six thousand inhabitants against the sixteen thousand of Altopascio that has been waiting for the sports hall for about 50 years), it will be necessary to queue. In fact, two teams from Montecatini will play for work on the structure in the spa town, as well as other realities. It will be necessary to find the right spaces and times. Both for training, but also and above all for matches; perhaps with advances or postponements. Provided that the federal bodies understand the need for necessity and facilitate logistical overcrowding.

On the facebook page of the rosablu club, the managers ironically: “Too bad; if we had hired the legendary Chiellini he would have stopped that project that was presented to us several times, invariably during the electoral campaigns, except, then, to do nothing. Projects flew away on the wing and finished who knows where. The great Giorgio was really needed. “

For the Bama Altopascio meeting, probably at the end of the month. The first market moves are awaited to face the “Silver” tournament and seek a peaceful salvation, in view, then, of the next one, where, perhaps, you can aim for something more.
