The adventure of the team ended with an excellent fifth place.Olympic Basketball al 31st International Garfagnana Tournamenteaglet category 2013-2014.
The “furious olives” of coach Ezio Arduino, reinforced by some loans from Canaletto (La Spezia) and Farigliano (Cuneo) had the unforgettable first experience of an international match, singing the national anthem and facing the Lithuanians of SKM Vilnius.
A match played on equal terms, leading 2 halves to 1 at the interval, the Olimpia children found a wall erected in defense and from that moment the Lithuanians managed to win all the halves with difficulty.
Clear victory against Invictus Livorno and Lucca Accademy, second in the standings in a disproportionately more difficult group than the other two and for this reason alone they were unable to reach the semi-finals. The final for fifth place against Massa is won by the Taggesi with ease.
“An excellent result which, with a little more luck, could have become extraordinary – comments the staff – but the growth we have seen in our kids and the group that has been created, including parents, is extraordinary”.
The whole of Olimpia will now be busy organizing the third Canestrello Tournament which will be held in the days of MediTaggiasca, next 11th and 12th May.
