The Pro Recco easily beat Catania 22-4 on the eighth day of the championship and remains in the lead with full points: on top are Iocchi Gratta and Condemi, authors of six and four goals.
Mister Sukno gives Di Fulvio and Hallock a rest, fielding a very young team with seven out of twelve outfield players born between 2002 and 2009; among these the debut in Serie A1 of the 2008 class Marco Bottarelli stands out. First time as captain for Fondelli.
The Italian champions put the turbo on and fly to a 6-0 lead in the first eight minutes of the game with Del Lungo taking the liberty of repelling a penalty against Catania. The Biancoceleste goalkeeper leaves room for Negri at the changeover with Pro Recco already in double figures at 10-2. Sukno’s boys close the practice with another 6-0 partial in the third half and prepare for the double trip to Szolnok and Trieste.
