Calling it right now, Romeo and Julian are going to die eventually. I don't know when, but before this series is over it will happen. With Daisy calling her life very Greek tragedy and the names literally being Romeo and Julian (Juliet). It's going to happen. Preparing myself now. (I'm only in part 1 on LWH)

Gli altri sport: Arturo Merzario
Tumblr media
Il pilota che salvò la vita a Niki Lauda… Arturo Merzario nacque l’11 marzo 1943 a Civenna, in provincia di Como, a 19 anni guidò a Monza una Giulietta Spider,  ebbe la sua prima vittoria nel Rally di Sardegna. Nel 1964 si fece notare alla guida di una Fiat-Abarth 1000, e partecipò alla 500 Km del Nürburgring. Dopo varie vittorie e diversi piazzamenti interessanti nella classe Turismo Europeo, il  comasco divenne  pilota ufficiale della scuderia dello Scorpione, dove impressionò Enzo Ferrari, grazie alle vittorie al Mugello nella classe Sport Prototipi e a Imola nel’Europeo della Montagna. Poco tempo dopo Merzario fu  ingaggiato per correre il Mondiale Marche 1970,  dove partecipò con la Ferrari 512 a Daytona, Sebring, Brands Hatch e Monza. Nel 1971, con l’Abarth vinse a Vallelunga la Coppa in memoria dello scomparso Ignazio Giunti e un anno dopo ci fu la prima importante vittoria con la 312P alla 1000 Km di Spa con il pilota inglese Brian Redman e, con Sandro Munari, arrivò il trionfo alla Targa Florio. Grazie a queste vittorie Arturo fece il suo ingresso in Formula 1, sostituendo di Clay Regazzoni, fermo per un incidente capitato mentre giocava a calcio. Al debutto in Inghilterra Merzario partì nono ed arrivò sesto guadagnando il suo primo punto iridato. Nel 1973  divenne pilota titolare Ferrari in coppia di Jacky Ickx, ma per lui ci furono solo nove gare su 15 mondiali di cui due piazzamenti al quarto posto in Brasile e Sud Africa e, due ritiri a Monaco e Monza. Al contrario nel Mondiale Sport Merzario fu  secondo alla 24 Ore di Le Mans e alla 1000 km Nürburgring in coppia con Carlos Pace alla guida di una Ferrari 312 PB. Purtroppo nel 1974 il rapporto con Enzo Ferrari si deteriorò e il pilota abbandonò la scuderia passando su una Iso-Ford della scuderia di Frank Williams. L’anno seguente la Iso diventa Williams, Arturo disputò 5 gare con altrettanti ritiri, ma nel mondiale Marche Sport aiutò l’Alfa Romeo a vincere il campionato. Sempre con la scuderia del Biscione vinse la 800 km di Digione la 1000 km di Monza, la 1000 km di Pergusa, la 1000 km del Nürburgring e la Targa Florio in coppia con Nino Vaccarella, oltre ai secondi posti ottenuti al Mugello in coppia con Ickx, in Austria con Vittorio Brambilla e al Glen americano con Mario Andretti. Nel 1976 ci fu l’evento che fece entrare Arturo Merzario nei cuori dei tifosi con il salvataggio eroico del Nürburgring di Niki Lauda, quando il pilota comasco  fermò la sua auto rischiando la vita per soccorrere il collega intrappolato, come raccontò anni dopo  “Ero appena uscito dai box e vedevo in lontananza, due o tre curve avanti, una rossa Ferrari. Ad un tratto la vettura volò in aria, trasformata in una palla di fuoco. Ai quei tempi c’era molto  magnesio nella costruzione di una monoposto, materiale molto infiammabile. Figuriamoci cosa successe con la benzina nel serbatoio. Mi fermai. C’era gente impietrita. Corsi verso un albero dove era appoggiato un estintore. Lo presi e raggiunsi la zona dell’incendio. Cercai di spegnerlo, c’era anche molto fumo. Vicino a me si trovavano altri due piloti, Harald Ertl e Brett Langer, però non osavano avvicinarsi. Io mi curvai sull’abitacolo e cercai di aprire le cinture di sicurezza. Niki si agitava. Ma così facendo le tendeva e io non riuscivo manovrare la levetta per sganciarle. Poi Lauda svenne, il corpo divenne inerte e finalmente fui in grado di estrarlo. Sembrava un bambino. Lo sollevai come se fosse pesato dieci chili appena. Quindi arrivarono i soccorsi” Merzario nel 1977, con Vittorio Brambilla, portò l’Alfa Romeo nuovamente al primo posto nel Campionato Mondiale Marche, poi negli anni successivi continuò a gareggiare nel Campionato Italiano Prototipi. Nel 2010 Arturo è stato eletto Presidente onorario della Scuderia del Portello, che si dedica alla conservazione e preparazione dei modelli sportivi e storici dell’Alfa Romeo da presentare per la strade del mondo.

Chapter 298 was great. It's so weird to believe that in another two chapters ASC will be at 300! It seems like just a while ago we were at 200!
I'm so glad Prof. McGonagall finally made an announcement about Harry's touchy fanbase. It's quite annoying, and I agree, some people might think it's quite amusing to playfully touch someone, or even to leave them slightly flustered but you don't do that! It's so wrong! It's not just for women or men, it goes both ways and it is assault!
I really like how you wrote the scene with Kane and Tonks discussing the Brambilla's. That's like a massive plot twist to the people that thought Blaise's mother was the Black Widow. I see that you also had to use some Italian name there, I particularly liked 'Romeo Romano' 😄 That name is so popular with the younger generation.
Kane being a fan of soap opera is great (Theo will find it adorable, I'm sure!)
I also seriously hope Daphne and Astoria get help. Her only crime is being a coward and an idiot, neither of them deserve to get married off with people like Atticus Macnair.
I haven't been able to review for a while, my apologies for that 😅
Anyways, I'm eagerly awaiting the next chapter and all the drama that comes with it! I'm also curious to se what you have planned next for the Death Eaters as well as Theo and Kane.
Hi, @dxtrromano
Thank you! I didnt realize that was a popular name when I chose it, but good to know. Im glad you enjoyed it!
Kane definitely wasnt watching Hidden Passions LOL

Reading/Rereading List
Reading/Rereading List The following is an incomplete, ongoing list of the books that I wish to read or read again. The list is separated by author, in chronological order of the year of the author’s birth. Note: Rather than list all of the works by each author, I have selected only the titles that currently interest me. For complete lists, search authors on wikipedia.org. Of course in the early centuries you will find the obvious choices from both the “Western canon” and the Eastern classics listed, with the more varied, fun stuff from the twentieth century farther down the page. To search this list, hold the command key and press the f key at the same time if you are on a mac, or hold the window key and press the + key and the f key if you are on some other brand of computer. Then type a title, or a year, or an author’s name to find them on this list. * - The Egyptian Book of the Dead (3150-1550 BCE) [Wallis Budge translation, 1895] * Homer (Greek, c. 750-650 BCE) - The Iliad (c. 760-10 BCE) - The Odyssey (c. 750-00 BCE) [Fagles translations] * Hesiod (Greek, c. 750-650 BCE) - Works and Days (c. 700 BCE)[Stallings translation] * Aesop (Greek, c. 620-564 BCE) - The Complete Fables [Temple and Temple translation] * Lao Tzu (Laozi) (Chinese, born 6th to 5th century BCE, died 531 BCE) - Tao Te Ching (Daodejing) (6th century BCE)[Lau translation][Mitchell translation] * Anonymous (Indian) - The Upanishads (800-400 BCE)[Mascaró translation] * Aeschylus (Greek, 523-426 BCE) - Prometheus Bound and Other Plays: – Prometheus Bound (date and authorship disputed) – The Suppliants (463 BCE) – Seven Against Thebes (467 BCE) – The Persians (472 BCE) [Vellacott translation] - The Oresteia (458 BCE): – Agamemnon – The Libation Bearers – The Eumenides [Fagles translation] * Anonymous (Indian) - Bhagavad Gita (part of the Mahabharata) (5th-2nd century BCE)[Mascaró translation][Mitchell translation] * Buddhist Scriptures (3rd century BCE) [Lopez edit] * Anonymous (Indian) The Dhammapada (3rd century BCE)[Mascaró translation] * Sophocles (Greek, c. 497-406 BCE) - The Three Theban Plays: – Antigone (c. 441 BCE) – Oedipus the King [aka Oedipus Tyrannus, Oedipus Rex] (c. 429 BCE) – Oedipus at Colonus (406 BCE) [Fagles translation] * Plato (Greek, c. 428-348 BCE) - The Symposium (385-370 BCE) [Gill translation] - The Republic (370 BCE) [Rowe translation] - The Last Days of Socrates (370 BCE) [Rowe translation] - Phaedrus (370 BCE) [Rowe translation] * Aristotle (Greek, 384-322 BCE) - Nicomachean Ethics (340 BCE)[Beresford Translation] - The Art of Rhetoric [Lawson-Tancred translation] - Poetics (335 BCE) [Heath translation] * Chuang Tzu (Zhuang Zhou, Zhuangzi) (Chinese, 369-286 BCE) - The Book of Chuang Tzu (3rd century BCE) [Palmer and Breuilly translation] * Ovid (Greek, 43 BCE- 18 CE) - Metamorphoses (8 CE) [Raeburn translation] * - Bibliotheca of Pseudo-Apollodorus (1st or 2nd century CE)[Translated by Robin Hard as The Library of Greek Mythology for Oxford World's Classics] * The Talmud (200 CE) - The Talmud: A Selection [Solomon translation] * Padmasambhava, a.k.a.

Basta un refolo di maestrale per distribuire i suoni dei motori in città. Come un richiamo, la campana di una chiesa. I ragazzini drizzano le orecchie e prendono le biciclette. C'è qualcuno che gira, in pista.
 Così era, così è.
Monza, adesso significa soprattutto Formula 1. Una settimana ad altissima concentrazione di passione. Poi meno, poco. Diversamente da come è stato e fu, quando le corse erano una sfilza, buone comunque e sempre per radunarsi lì, a vedere quegli smalti da fotografia, a sentire un urlo comunque impressionante, a percepire il rischio, l'odore della paura. La storia dura da quasi un secolo, presenta immagini da folla oceanica, in bianco e nero per le sfide tra Varzi e Nuvolari, anni Trenta; per il lungo ponte che collegò Antonio e Alberto Ascari, padre e figlio, eroi popolarissimi e perduti. Alfa Romeo dal cofano enorme per il primo, anni Venti; Ferrari per il secondo, anni Cinquanta, che a Monza volò via senza un solo testimone, provando per gioco la macchina del suo amico Castellotti, 26 maggio 1955.
La sopraelevata è ora un dinosauro imbalsamato, un ovale di cemento cadente e mostruoso. E' utile una visita, giusto per fantasticare su un furore da sconcerto, su un azzardo quasi incomprensibile. Il resto sono rette e colpi secchi di freno, alta velocità e staccate decise. Lesmo, Parabolica, nomi da mito, da antologia universale. L'elenco, cacciando il naso nell'album dell'autodromo, si fa sterminato. Prototipi e piccole monoposto, Gran Turismo e Formula 1 per una festa lunga un secolo, appunto, il secolo del motore.
Chi ha qualche anno non dimentica sorrisi e tragedie più fresche. Il sorriso dolce di Lorenzo Bandini sul podio della Mille Chilometri, quando i prototipi del Mondiale apparivano più affascinanti di ogni macchina a ruote scoperte; Lauda e Regazzoni per una festa in rosso telegenica e televisiva; Villeneuve e Scheckter pronti al bis. Enzo Ferrari con il suo vestito scuro che arriva guarda e se ne va durante le prove; il mare dei cavallini sotto Schumacher sul nuovo podio a sbalzo. Grandi nomi, una sfilza. Jochen Rindt che muore alla Parabolica nel 1970, l'unico titolo mondiale assegnato alla memoria; la zazzera beat di Stewart, i baffetti british di Graham Hill; la Chaparral con quell'alettone mostruoso e bianco; Pedro Rodriguez e Joseph Siffert con quelle Porsche sterminate, Vittorio e Tino Brambilla, i ragazzi da corsa di casa, Ronnie Peterson che va a morire in un parapiglia anno 1978, Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost e poi Seb Vettel che qui vinse per la prima volta, Toro Rosso, sotto un nubifragio, anno 2008.
Nomi a caso, per una storia dentro la quale ciascuno può scovare un proprio eroe, uno spicchio di memoria cara, festante o dolente. Per farlo basta vagare ancora oggi tra i vecchi box. Ha resistito il porfido, per terra. Cubi di pietra come lapidi, come fotogrammi opachi. Mentre il vento porta la musica nelle strade, nelle stanze, nelle cucine, come se fosse quello il condimento solito, necessario per fare domenica.

23. August 1964: Der 1. GP Österreich
Der erste Grand Prix von Österreich wird als Flugplatzrennen in Zeltweg ausgetragen. Es triumphiert der Italiener Lorenzo Bandini im Ferrari. Jochen Rindt gibt als erster Österreicher sein Debüt in der Königsklasse. Auf der engen “Rumpelpiste” zerbrechen viele Boliden, Phil Hills Cooper verbrennt inmitten von Strohballen. Die Strecke wird für zu gefährlich befunden, der WM-Status ist gleich wieder weg.

16. August 1970: Premiere in Spielberg
Erstmals wird auf dem 1969 errichteten, in die Landschaft eingebetteten Österreichring in Spielberg gefahren. Der in der WM führende Lokalmatador Rindt stellt seinen Lotus auf Pole Position, scheidet aber bereits nach wenigen Runden mit Motorschaden aus. Ferrari landet durch Jacky Ickx und Clay Regazzoni einen Doppelsieg.
17. August 1975: Schwarzer Tag
Der US-Amerikaner Mark Donohue verunglückt im Warm Up und reißt auch einen Streckenposten mit in den Tod. Das Rennen wird wegen strömenden Regens bereits kurz nach Halbzeit abgebrochen und mit halben Punkten gewertet. Der siegreiche Italiener Vittorio Brambilla fährt mit seinem March vor Freude in die Streckenbegrenzung. Der spätere Weltmeister Niki Lauda wird im Heimrennen Sechster.
19. August 1984: Laudas Sieg
Die große Stunde des Niki Lauda. Der Wiener feiert im McLaren-Turbo den ersten und bisher einzigen Heimsieg eines Österreichers. Lauda jubelt vor 100.000 Landsleuten, obwohl im Finish das Getriebe Probleme bereitet. Sein Stall- und WM-Rrivale Alain Prost dreht sich auf einem Ölfleck ins Aus. Lauda wird am Ende zum dritten Mal Weltmeister – mit dem knappsten Vorsprung aller Zeiten.

Aggiornamenti Campionati a Squadre
Altra domenica molto intensa quella scorsa, 30 Maggio.
Erano ben 7 le squadre seniores impegnate nelle diverse categorie dove le nostre atlete e i nostri atleti sudano per onorare i colori del CTP.
Sarebbe davvero lunghissimo fare la cronaca di tutti gli incontri ma ci teniamo a darvi i maggiori spunti possibili.
Iniziamo ovviamente dalle nostre ragazze e lasciateci partire da quelle che senza ombra di dubbio hanno maggiormente sentito la tensione di un esordio stagionale nel campionato a squadre, le belle e brave componenti della squadra D3 Femminile.
Tumblr media
Da sinistra Lucia Fatone, Laura Cozzi e Nadia Legnani
Tralasciamo il risultato finale ma sottolineiamo la straordinaria prova di Nadia Legnani che da NC ha impegnato in una lunga ed estenuante maratona la 4.2 Allegri Eloisa, dovendo cedere solo al terzo per 64 36 64 ! Pazienza giovane Nadia, tutta esperienza.
Onore anche alla nostra numero 1, Lucia Fatone, brava a impegnare la 4.1 Margiotta Francesca con la sua solita grinta che ben conosciamo e che ha tenuto in bilico il risultato sino al 64 64 finale.
Instancabile Lucia nello scendere in campo anche in doppio con la nostra Laura Cozzi, madrina di tante manifestazioni del nostro tennis per via della sua presenza che non fa mai mancare. 63 62 il punteggio e tanto fieno in cascina a livello di esperienza per le nostre giovanili tenniste. Brave ragazze, orgogliosi di Voi !
Rimanendo al femminile e salendo giusto un pochino di livello, dobbiamo nostro malgrado registrare la battuta di arresto della B2 femminile in quel di Bergamo contro il TC Citta dei Mille. Il 3 a 1 finale deriva dalle sconfitte senza troppo rammarico di Carola Cavelli (61 64 dalla 2.4 Palkina Ksenia) e con lo stesso punteggio di Sonia Cassani per mano della 2.5 Fermi Chiara. A risollevare e darci speranza ci ha pensato la esordiente Urso Aurora (2.6) con il suo bel positivo contro la 2.5 Volpi Alice per 75 63.
Ci hanno provato le nostre Cassani e Urso in doppio ma poco sono riuscite a fare contro la ben affiatata coppia Palkina/Fermi; il 61 63 finale lo dice chiaramente.
Nulla ragazze, non e successo nulla e possiamo giocarci il tutto per tutto domani 2 giugno in casa contro la capolista Casale. FORZA RAGAZZE !
Passiamo ora ai maschi e qui ci perdonerete se non saremo troppo dettagliati ma davvero, inserire dettagli di una B2, una D1, tre D3 e una D4 sarebbe troppo lungo.
Andiamo con ordine e partiamo dalla D4 che ha deliziato i nostri tifosi con prove di notevole grinta e carattere. I risultati che riportiamo sotto danno il giusto risalto alla grinta e alla notevole dedizione che tutti i nostri ragazzi hanno messo in campo, vincere partite sempre e solo al terzo va sottolineato. GRANDI LOTTATORI ! Con un capitano come Danilo cosa potevamo aspettarci di diverso ?
Tumblr media
ASCIONE SALVATORE (4.1) d. FRANCESCHETTO MIRKO (4.1) 63 36 75
RAISI LUCA (4.2) b. STRUMIA MASSIMO (4.2) 64 26 64
CARMAGNOLA DANILO (4.3) b. BRANCALONE ANTONIO (4.2) 16 61 63
GIGLIO/ROMEO F. b. AMATO/SANTAMBROGIO 63 57 108
Tre invece erano le squadre di D3 Maschile.
La squadra A degli esperti Luca Rossetti e Luca Casanova affiancati dal giovane Mazzetto Stefano hanno offerto una prova di grande forza nello spazzare via il GFG Sport con un perentorio 4 a 0, per via delle vittorie in Singolo di Rossetti sul 3.5 Maggi per 75 64, di Casanova sul 4.4 Cazzaniga per 61 61 e di Mazzetto sul 4.NC De Sousa per 60 62. Completa il risultato il 75 62 in doppia della interessante coppia Casanova/Mazzetto. Ottimo inizio ragazzi !
La squadra B sotto la guida di capitan Morosi, ha espugnato Milano e il tennis Schuster grazie alla ottima vena di coach Charlie (Carlo Lusardi) che dopo aver sbaragliato il 4.2 D Andrea per 75 61, ha sfruttato le sue ottime doti di doppista affiancato al bravissimo Soria Niccolo (vincitore in singolo contro il 3.4 Brambilla per 76 63 con un ottimo positivo) per chiudere un epica battaglia in contro la coppia Brambilla/Giovannelli vinta pensate per 16 62 11 9 al super tie-break del terzo con match point annullato.
Ininfluente la sconfitta del sempre impeccabile Thomas Mellace che ha lottato al massimo contro il 4.1 Giovannelli trascinato al terzo ma purtroppo alla fine con maggiori energie. 75 36 63 alla fine ma grande Thomas, come sempre !
Nulla da fare invece per la giovane squadra Serie D3 Maschile in quel di Buccinasco (TC Milago). Troppo forti alla fine il 3.1 Figini (64 64 al pur bravissimo Panaro Alessandro che ha lasciato una partita comunque molto tirata), il 3.3 Longo che ha lasciato solo tre game al sempre elegante Biondi Stefano (62 61 con pochi rammarichi ma tanta esperienza di cui far tesoro Ste), il 4.5 Stara Davide che ha invece sorpreso Maurizio Fiorellino per 63 76 in un match che se portato al terzo magari …
64 61 il punteggio del doppio per i locali, opposti ai nostri Biondi/Giorato per un clean sheet che non deve scoraggiare i nostri giovani, alla ricerca soprattutto di esperienza da far fruttare negli anni.
Siamo alla D1 Maschile, ancora in grado di portare a casa una vittoria di estrema importanza per la classifica del girone (siamo a punteggio pieno) contro la temibile squadra del CC Molinetto. Quattro singoli vinti un due set con prove perentorie da parte di:
TURCONI EMANUELE b. PARESCHI ANDREA (3.1) 75 61
LEGNANI ANDREA b. CAPPELLA STEFANO (3.1) 61 63
BOGNI ANDREA b. MAFFEI MARCELLO (3.2) 62 63
PANARO PAOLO b. BRAS DE FER MICHEL (4.4) 76 75
Tumblr media
Stanchi ma contenti !
Per poi arrivare a vincere il doppio del sempre presente Ivan Volante (capitano) in coppia con Lorenzo Baldoni (epici nel vincere 75 67 10 7 al super tie-break).
Unica piccola nota dolente la sconfitta per 75 36 10 7 del doppio Favetti Marco/Legnani, alla ricerca di intese e meccanismi che sicuramente verranno.
Chiudiamo al maschile con la Serie B2 di capitan Mattia.
La trasferta di Crema doveva portare ai nostri una sola cosa, i tre punti per rimanere in testa al girone a punteggio pieno. Missione compiuta, anche se per le strane dinamiche dello sport il clima alla fine non era certo dei migliori.
Spieghiamo: essere 4 a 0 dopo i singoli ed essere avanti 60 22 in un doppio e 63 54 e servizio nel secondo sembrava dare ai nostri il via per un 6 a 0 o comunque per un 5 a 1 che sarebbe stato un ottimo viatico per il prosieguo.
Il nostro amato sport non ti concede nessuna distrazione e lo sanno bene le coppie Cassago/Carlone (sconfitti 06 62 10 3 al tie-break) e Brugnerotto/Brianza (sotto alla fine 36 76 10 3 con due match point non sfruttati) per il 4 a 2 finale.
Nulla di compromesso ovviamente, anzi, per cui lasciateci parlare delle liete note che vengono dai singoli.
Una tranquilla (forse troppo vero Gio?) domenica per il nostro numero 2 Giovanni Rizzuti, con una vittoria mai in discussione contro il 2.6 Ricetti Danny. 60 61 in pochissimi minuti e un discreto allenamento in vista della finale del torneo Open di Inveruno vinto ieri per 62 61 in finale contro il 2.4 Conca Alessandro. COMPLIMENTI GIO !
Sul campo 2 era la volta di Christian Migliorini sconfiggere soprattutto i suoi acciacchi fisici degli ultimi giorni oltre che il bravo e giovanissimo 2.6 Cattaneo Leonardo (classe 2006) con un perentorio 62 63. Bravo Christian a non scomporsi anche nella parte centrale del secondo parziale quando ha dovuto rintuzzare il tentativo di recupero del tennista locale.
Toccava quindi al nostro numero 1, Marco Brugnerotto, avere la meglio sul 2.4 Datei Gabriele che davvero ha cercato in tutti i modi di mettere in discussione alcuni game, soprattutto nel secondo set, attingendo a notevoli doti fisiche. Il livello di gioco mostrato domenica dal nostro ha forse un solo difetto: Marco giochi talmente bene a tennis che rischi di mettere in palla gli avversari consapevoli che solo facendo i fenomeni possono sperare di strappare qualche game. Il 61 63 finale racconta in ogni caso di un match mai in bilico grazie alle impressionanti accelerazioni e ai colpi profondissimi di un Brugnerotto davvero di altro livello.
Dal vivaio scendeva in campo Leonardo Cassago, opposto al giovane 2.8 Nava Giacomo. Sembrava solo normale amministrazione dopo il primo set vinto 61 e dopo essere andato avanti nettamente anche nel secondo parziale. I cali di tensione sono i peggiori nemici di Leo, insieme a qualche errore di troppo nel servizio e purtroppo domenica non abbiamo visto una eccezione. Raggiunto sul 5 pari, Leo ha saputo ritrovare i suoi colpi e la giusta freddezza per portare a casa il punto della vittoria, per la contentezza della sua prima tifosa, la bella e bravissima cagnolina Olivia, ormai la nostra mascotte.
Un grazie di cuore anche a Franco Migliorini (padre di Christian) e a Fabio Legnani per la loro discreta ma importante presenza, tanto gradita ai ragazzi. Franco e Fabio hanno aiutato le ormai inossidabili Giulia, Vanessa e Francesca a sostenere la squadra. Grazie ancora !
Dei due doppi abbiamo detto prima purtroppo ma da qui dobbiamo ripartire per ritrovare la giusta grinta e cercare di rimanere in testa al girone con il match casalingo di Domenica 6 Giugno contro Quanta Club.
Tumblr media
Tutti i ragazzi di Mamo e Mattia
Come sempre, non possiamo fermarci a riflettere troppo dal momento che domani 2 Giugno ci saranno in casa due appuntamenti di enorme importanza per il nostro tennis:
ORE 10.00 SERIE B2 FEMMINILE: CTP vs Sport Club Nuova Casale
ORE 15.00 UNDER 16 Maschile (Tabellone Regionale): CTP vs TC Gallarate
TUTTI A TIFARE PER I NOSTRI IN ATTESA DELLA ENNESIMA DOMENICA DI CAMPIONATI !!!
