Trentino increases advantage

Trentino remains top by beating Vibo Valentia and even increased its advantage on the followers. The Italian champs made no less than 9 aces with Dore Della Lunga standing out from the 9-meter line. Vibo had to make do without Simeonov stuck in the hotel with the flu. Trento will get to next week's big clash against Macerata with fewer sets played.

Cuneo moves up to second place thanks to a ninth consecutive win. Today's victim of Wijmans and co was Piacenza, who had been ahead in every single set. Montichiari is back on track thanks to a straight set win over bottom of the league Padova. Coach Berrutto had a great effort from his bench in the person of Tiberti and Rauwerdink.

The crucial match up at the bottom between Pineto and Forli went all the way to the tie-break with Pineto taking 2 points.
