In the first leg of the men's Serie D playoffs, the Mazzoni area was overturned 3-2 (22-25, 19-25, 25-8, 25-17, 15-7) by Florence Volleyball at the Anna Frank gym in Pistoia; next Saturday in Florence she will try to redeem herself, taking the series to the tiebreaker. On the last day of the return leg of group B of the women's D series, the Buggiano Light Washer won 3-0 (21-25, 25-27, 17-25) in the derby, played in Pistoia, with Fenice. Buggiano concluded its seasonal efforts in sixth place in the standings with 45 points, Fenice saved itself by finishing ninth with 30.

"We dominated the first two sets, showing off some great volleyball – they comment from the firefighters' environment –. Then, the lights went out a bit, last Thursday's match didn't help and it ended 3-2 for the lilies. But on Saturday at PalaMattioli we want to make up for it; we have the chance". "Our sporting year ends with a great away win: a match against Fenice in which all the players available to coach Sassi had their say, proving to be ready", they assert from the Borgogiano entourage. "We played without the competitive nastiness that has distinguished us in recent outings, but it was to be expected once we had secured safety. We rotated the entire roster except for the injured Cipriani, who was well replaced by Sara Del Pero", the words of the Fenicino clan.
