Brunetti Castel Goffredo claimed their seventh Italian Women’s Super Cup title, maintaining an unbeaten record in the tournament’s history. The team triumphed in front of their home fans at the PalaTennistavolo “Elia Mazzi,” defeating ASV TT Südtirol 5-0. The victory was celebrated with the presentation of the trophy by Deputy Federal Vice-President Carlo BORELLA.
The match followed a best-of-nine format, played simultaneously on two tables. In the opening round, Romania’s Andreea DRAGOMAN dominated Evelyn VIVARELLI at table 1, while Nikoleta STEFANOVA secured a straight-sets victory over Debora VIVARELLI at table 2.
The second round mirrored the first, with Bernadette SZOCS of Romania defeating Gaia MONFARDINI at table 1, despite MONFARDINI’s effort to claim the third set. At table 2, DRAGOMAN overcame a spirited challenge from Debora VIVARELLI in the first and third sets, while the second set was a more straightforward affair.
With the score at 4-0, only one match was required to seal the victory. At table 1, SZOCS delivered a commanding performance against Evelyn VIVARELLI, securing the title for Castel Goffredo. The winning team also included Anastasiia KOLISH from Russia and Nicole ARLIA.
“We are satisfied,” remarked coach Alfonso LAGHEZZA. “Winning the seventh Italian Super Cup is a proud moment for us. Unlike previous encounters, the adversaries didn’t offer much resistance, and the match was largely one-sided. The exception was the game between SZOCS and MONFARDINI, where the decisive set highlighted the significant gap between the players. Our team deserves credit for staying focused and determined throughout, demonstrating remarkable consistency. This trophy sets a strong foundation for what promises to be a demanding season.”
