Serie C, Pallacanestro Molfetta takes on Brindisi away

An away match, the one scheduled for Saturday evening on the pitch of the Gaw Web Agency Brindisi, to understand if the convincing Clean Up Molfetta, albeit over three quarters of the match, seen on Sunday evening at the PalaPoli against Potenza can express itself on the same levels even away from home, in fourth round of the championship.

«We worked a lot during the week on the defensive level and it showed – said Didonna commenting on the first victory in the inter-regional Serie C tournament -. We knew at the start that we weren’t going to have an easy start to the regular season. We challenged three of the best equipped teams (Monteroni, Lecce and Potenza), but we needed to find confidence, break the deadlock and get the two points.” Those who arrived with Potenza, up to that point still with full points and a 71-62 defeat thanks to a great fourth quarter of the game, despite some failures in the offensive phase on the part of coach Gesmundo’s men: «We are a growing team and the mistakes that we commit in attack, with hard work and the right mix – Didonna assured -, we will slowly eliminate them”.

Molfetta, therefore, will go to the pitch of Gaw Web Agency Brindisi, defeated on its debut in Francavilla Fontana, but fresh from victories against Trani and Fasano. «However, we definitely need momentum – said Didonna -. A victory away from home always gives us that extra boost which wouldn’t hurt us in our growth path.” The Messapian team, coached by coach Laghezza, can count on a strong staff, enhanced by the arrival of the Lithuanian guard Kibildis: in four years, between Gold and Silver, they scored around 2,000 points, with an average of 21 points in 96 games .

Also in the squad are guard Polifemo (fifth year in a row), center Scivales (third consecutive season), as well as guard Calcagni and point guard Valente both coming from Valtur’s cousins. «We need to become aware of our means and make our opponents understand that we are also here in this championship – said Didonna -. Head down, hard work and the results will come. The way we are working, one thing is certain: we want to win.” The appointment is for Saturday 26 October at PalaMelfi in Brindisi at 6.00 pm.
