Again a Naples derby highlighted the Italian league this weekend. The 16th round was traditionally kicked off on Friday as this time Posillipo and CC Napoli squarred off. And the 'home team' enjoyed a superior first half leading 8-4 followed by winning the third period as the game almost looked a done deal with eight minutes remaining: 10-6. But the fourth quarter was a different story. CC Napoli stormed back scoring four unaswered goals. The final one though, netted by Umberto Esposito with just under a minute to go, proved to be too late as Posillipo held on and survived winning 10-9. A victory that turned out to be a rather usefull one as fellow third place contenders Acquachiara surprisingly fell to Florentia 13-10 and Posillip now now holds a comfortable four-point advantage over the fellow Naples based side in the race for the third spot. In the other games Savona saw Luca Damonte scoring the winner in the high scoring match-up with Lazio with just under a minute remaining in the game to win 13-12. League leaders Pro Recco added another win by beating Como 6-13 with Aleksandar Ivovic again topping the scorers list, this time with four goals. Brescia followed that example by dominating Promogest 16-3. Bogliasco remains tied with Florentia on the table after defeating last ranked Nervi 14-7.
