Hockey Club Pistoia, first victory Pistoia in Sardinia

The bad news is that the team will have to lay off its coach for two more rounds. The positive thing is that the dismissal imposed on coach Filippo Trino following what happened in Pisa seems to have awakened the players’ pride. And “competitive fury” poured onto the field, which allowed the Pistoia Hockey Club to get its first victory of the season. The orange team conquered the field of HT Sardegna, valid for the fifth day of the Serie A1 field hockey league 202223. Sheet 5-3 signed by Vittori’s hat-trick and Pozzio’s brace, crowning a respectable team performance in the best possible way. And this is a clear signal sent to the direct competitors: HC Pistoia, meanwhile, has neutralized the penalty corrected last month, rising two spots in the Group B standings and dropping last place. In short, a concrete response was needed from the group, and it came: now the goal remains to find continuity, starting with next Saturday’s home match against Cagliari. Without forgetting the club’s appeal against the decision taken by the sports judge against Treno: further developments in this regard may occur soon.
