The Italian Men’s League will start in two weeks, but the best clubs from the Apennine Peninsula are back in action.

As usual, the season was opened with the qualifications for the Final Eight of the Italian Cup played this weekend.

Fourteen teams, split into four groups, took part. There were no surprising outcomes. Pro Recco, Brescia, Savona, Ortigia, Trieste, Telimar, Quinto and Posillipo advanced to the F8.
There were no big surprises, but there were several very exciting games. One goal decided which team would win 1st place in Group C, where Savona finished ahead of Telimar. Goal difference was crucial in a battle for 2nd place in Group A. Posillipo finished 2nd in Group A ahead of Salerno.

Ortigia and Trieste won four points each in the group in Ostia (near Rome), but Ortigia won 1st place because of a better goal difference.

The Final Eight will be held in March. The host will be determined

Favorites Trieste and Ortigia shared the points in the opening game, so already after the first match, it was more or less clear that the goal difference would decide the group winner.

Ortigia opened the derby very well and led 7:4 at halftime. However, the second half belonged to Trieste. The team from the north of Italy was a step away from a win. Trieste led 10:9 in the final minute, but Ortigia’s Ferrero scored an equalizer with 40 seconds to go. In the remaining time both goalies posted one save each, and the teams shared the points.

Trieste beat Roma 11:6, which meant that Ortigia needed a 6-goal win in the last round to climb into 1st place. The Sicilians’ defense was superb in the first three periods. Ortigia entered the final quarter leading 10:0. Roma narrowed the gap in the fourth period, but Ortigia recorded a win with a desirable margin.

Standings: 1. Ortigia 4 (+8), 2. Trieste 4 (+5), 3. Roma 0.
