What a Cimberio!
Gorgeous victory for Cimberio Varese on the neutral ground of Casale Monferrato. The team of Mr. Frates defeated the strong Umana Venezia after a very beautiful and well played match. All the satisfaction for the success is in the hug between Mr. Renzo Cimberio and the coach Fabrizio Frates photographed after the final siren in the snapshot of the photographer Mr. Simone Raso (who we thank).
Next match for Cimberio will be on Wednesday: Villeurbanne will arrive in Varese for the third Eurocup match.
