The Bulls defeated the Laguna return, leaving the "Four Fountains" of rugby Venice Lido with the result of 19-18. The luck seems to turn off the team AS Roma, who despite being progressed greatly since the beginning of the season, it takes a few more episodes well to bring down a castle built by the coaches and Bresciani Carraro.
the Expand begins the game not the best, perhaps tired and nervous because of the long hours by bus and ferry. The first time it sees a lot of mistakes in phrasing, is on one side or the other, and sees teams battle it from the pitch. 5 'Lido passes to lead with a kick, which is answered promptly course a minute later. The game is nervous, especially on the part of the team AS Roma, which at 10 'is already playing a man short, due to dell'ammonizione Chiecchi, but the bulls manage to overcome the difficult times and to report the attack. The forcing has its rewards, and the 36 'is a planar Zardini goal, to overtake valpolicellese! Time has elapsed, the Venice Lido still managed to score in the above, by placing another ball between the posts giallorossi.
The second half opens, however, not good for Valpo, which affected the goal two minutes after the hosts, thus stretching the score. However, the Expand is not dead, and reacts quickly, beginning to grind a bit 'of his good game, below the score with another placed in the course of 50'. The Bulls then change gear, and begin to really seriously, moving on offense and putting the team in trouble home. It 'a prelude to the destination AS Roma, which reaches 65' with Valli, who can find a way right in the defense of Venice. Zardini central goal, and is worn over Valpo 18-14. Here, however, after a wonderful first part of the second half, forcing the Bulls to slow down, thinking perhaps he had done enough to win. Big mistake, because the Lido reacts angrily and began hammering at the bottom of the defense of Verona. The fort and friends of Captain Favetta resists as he can, until the opponents are right just past the gate, desperate attack, marking the goal is to overtake the score, and therefore victory.
dramatic epilogue to the game, Amateurs still out seeing the defeat of a nothing, a challenge that was very important for the standings for the team's morale. Now we must not do anything but quit the group and overcome together, with each other, these difficulties. Come on Tori!
