SENNORI'S REPLY: «Absurd, you bully our little girls»
www.unionesarda.it/sport/salta-finale-pallavolo-under-12-nord-sardegna-sennori-bullismo-contro-nostre-bambine-now5zxol"We witnessed the unsportsmanlike fair, in which an amateur sports association teaches 11-year-old girls that it is correct to win without playing." A bitter accusation that comes from the Aliva Junior Spring of Alghero. The reconstruction comes with a press release: "Today the territorial finals of the Under 12 championship volleyball were supposed to be played, where the four best teams in the championship were supposed to compete to decree the best on the field."
No problem until, in the first match «the first two teams drawn regularly played the first match in the draw ( Aliva Volley Alghero – Junior Volley Sassari, victory of the first by 3 sets to 0)».
At the second scheduled match against Sennori, Time Out Nera Olbia, according to the reconstruction, "could not show up due to the absence of an athlete who was not well and, therefore, did not respect the minimum number of players despite having enough to play the match". When the triangular was proposed, to allow Junior Sassari, classified on the field, to return to the game and rebalance the game assets, "Spring Volley Sennori refused to let its girls play and chose not to accept a proposal and take the forfeit passage to the finals". The alternative solution would have satisfied the requirements of the regulation.
Aliva Volley Alghero announced that it did not attend the game "out of solidarity with Junior Volley Sassari and Time Out Nera Olbia, and out of fairness towards the girls and those who put their heart, soul and honesty into the field, it withdrew from the final and withdrew, hopefully giving a lesson to those who have no idea of the definition of moral integrity".
«A sign of sadness» goes «to the Municipality of Sennori that celebrated a team, in a post on Facebook, that did not have the courage to play but preferred to take possession of an undeserved trophy, deleting the disapproving comments of the spectators».
The Municipality had written: «The girls of Spring Volley Sennori under 12 category, have graduated provincial champions of the Volleyball championship. Well done to everyone, from the athletes to the coaches and all the management. Forza Spring, forza Sennori sportiva».
