A weekend of great volleyball in Reggio Calabria with the Calabria Cup – Sensation Perfumery of the women’s C series “Memorial Sergio Sorrenti” staged at the Pala Calafiore. A “two days” marked by competition on the pitch and by the spectacle with four teams who battled to win the competition. The Rossano Asd volleyball team triumphed with the team from the upper Ionian Cosentino who beat the home team of Puliservice Reggio Calabria in the final. A final that gave emotions and pathos to the large audience present, already in raptures for the exploits of Domotek Reggio Calabria, fresh winner of the Italian Cup in the men’s A3 series, capable of beating Aurispa Lecce 3-1 and taking first place in the regular season which earned them the chance to play in the promotion play-off in A2 against Reggio Emilia (beaten in the final of the Cup). However, returning to the women’s Calabria Cup, the Rossano Asd Volleyball team of coach Luigi Zangaro prevailed with a score of 1-3 over the Puliservice Reggio Calabria of coach Francesco Giglietta, giving great joy to the Rossonese public who reached the shores of the Strait.
