For two teams that continue their journey, there is one that ends it: forward Audax Senigallia e Jesi, see you next season to the girls of theAtletico Chiaravalle.

SERIE A2 The first of the two playout matches goes to Audax. At the PalaPanzini in Senigallia, Aosta hosts, the men of mister Alberto Crivelli (who replaced Daniel Martin in the last regular season match) close the first round 3-2 (Benigni, Paludo, Chiarizia). "The match was very hard-fought - the first words of the Senigallia coach - . Above all, we found ourselves facing a very physical and well-prepared team. For our part, we conducted the match as we had prepared and my boys deserve applause for this. The only regret: in the second half we could have scored a few more goals, but we didn't take advantage of it. For the return match, I have only one certainty: this group will do everything to stay in the category". Saturday 3 May in Aosta could be the final act of an entire season.

B SERIES Jesi conquers the PalaCattani in Faenza and wins the first leg of the first playoff challenge of the group. "A balanced match, played by two attentive teams - Piersimoni's point of view -. We took the lead, but we only had two changes, so we were very limited in the rotations, so, also due to our mistake, they tied us shortly after. We suffered a bit in the second half, precisely because we were short, but in the end we found, with two minutes to go, the goal of 2-1. We are holding on to this victory while waiting to play on Friday 2 May at the PalaTriccoli in Jesi".

Women's Serie B 'SAtletico Chiaravalle the championship ends here. Occasionally at the PalaBadiali in Falconara due to the unavailability of the home field, the narrow defeat (0-1) with Scandicci puts an end to the season of the Chiaravallesi. "It's a real shame - mister Nicolò Molinelli still has a bitter taste in his mouth - I'm sorry for the girls who put their heart and soul into it, we had a string of absentees, but we held our own against a team that comes from a few years in Serie A. We didn't deserve the defeat, a free kick was decided, it's a real shame, we can't complain about anything, I'm proud of our girls". He concludes: "It was an amazing season: Coppa Italia final, second place in the championship and playoff final of the group, all with a brand new group where the young players have grown a lot. We have achieved great goals and at the same time built a base that will have to take us and keep us high over time".
