The regional team tennis championship in the men’s Over 50 category is tinged with the colors of the Lamezia Terme Tennis Club. Yesterday afternoon, Saturday 7 November 2026, the fields of Acquappesa (in the heart of the suggestive Terme Luigiane complex) were the scene of the super challenge that was decisive for the awarding of the title.
The two leading teams in the group faced each other, both of whom reached full points in the last decisive match: the hosts Polisportiva Acquappesa ASD and the Circolo Tennis Lamezia Terme led by maestro Raffaele La Scala. A real final for the victory of the regional group championship, in a top match that promised entertainment and great competitiveness. The winner, at the end of matches of the highest technical level, was the team from Lamezia, capable of imposing itself with authority and bringing home the prestigious regional title.
The team from CT Lamezia Terme dominated the day of competition, winning the three points, closing the accounts with a series of impeccable performances in the two singles and doubles, thanks to the victories of Raffaele La Scala over Stefano Aiello for 6/1 – 6/2, of Michele Amatruda on Ercole Ferraguto for 6/3 – 6/3, and of the doubles formed by Pasquale Natrella and Paolo Ventura against Adriano Vaccaro and Vincenzo Picarelli with the score of 6/3 – 6/2.
The Lamezia team thus crossed the finishing line and won the championship undefeated, confirming a superiority reaffirmed by the fact that all the previous matches with the other teams in the group had also ended with a score of 3 to 0. Thanks to these splendid successes, the verdict of the field rewarded the consistency, cohesion and technical superiority of the Lamezia Terme Tennis Club, which thus celebrates the well-deserved regional laurel.
Great enthusiasm among the players – including Giuseppe Cotroneo, a member of the Lamezia squad – and the technical staff, culminating in the festive return to the city late in the evening, with the regional title finally welcomed and celebrated in the community of Lamezia Terme. An achievement that rewards the commitment, passion and tennis tradition of the Lamezzo club, now ready to celebrate this extraordinary result together with all its members and enthusiasts.
The official awards ceremony will take place at the Mediterranean University of Reggio Calabria, together with the other winners of the regional championships and tournaments of the Italian Tennis and Padel Calabria Federation at the conclusion of the entire 2026 competitive season.
