First wins of the season for the Provincial Under 17s and the Professional Under 13s of San Marino Academy, who headlined a weekend that also brought plenty of satisfaction on the women’s side. The Under 17s and Under 15s both scored eight goals, while the Under 12s celebrated their first success in the National Youth Tournament.
Among the most emphatic results was the 8-1 win for the women’s Under 17s over Copparo, with braces from Russo, Padovani and Bartoli, plus goals from Lozzi and Gambuti. The Titans dominated the match despite Moroni’s sending-off and an injury to Zammarchi, which left them finishing the game with nine players.
The Under 15s were just as impressive, thrashing Imolese 8-0 to claim a sixth consecutive win. Gasperoni, Bianchi and Turchi all scored twice, with further goals from Urbinati and Littera.
There was also cause for celebration among the Under 12s, who won 4-2 on aggregate away to Granata. Nicole Macina was the star of the show with a hat-trick, while Giada Lano netted the decisive goal in the final period.
On the men’s side, the Provincial Under 17s claimed a 3-1 away win at Vis Novafeltria for their first league victory, with a brace from Ceccoli and a further goal from Volpinari proving decisive.
The Professional Under 13s also recorded their first win, beating Carpi across all four periods. Maraldi scored twice, with Gorini, Frisoni, Fantini, Redondi and Bianchi also finding the net.
