The Akademia Città di Messina opens the return of the Promotion Pool with a never-disputed victory on the Montecchio pitch. The difference in values and perhaps also in motivations between the two teams at the PalaFerroli in San Bonifacio was too marked with coach Fabio Bonafede's girls finishing the match 3 to 0. The first two were completed with ease by the Akademia while in the third they allows a few too many distractions that Montecchio quickly seizes to keep up, but in the crucial phases captain Martinelli and his teammates place the necessary extension to avoid complications
