They have followed up four consecutive early-season draws with nine straight wins. So, yeah, you might things for Joma Bonita keep looking up.

“We’ve had a few injuries here and there but thankfully we coped with them in the right way,” explains Maurizio Di Niro, grateful for the recognition. “We want to bring this same energy until the end of the season and carry it into the playoffs.”

The squad’s latest 4-1 win over Regi and the Boys – a fellow playoff contender who gave Bonita a run for their money in the game’s first half – has left them just one win shy of Nuva Spa 2, who also took advantage of an All Blacks/AS Dynamo draw to remain one small step ahead in the very congested C2 Division.

POTG: Luca Valsorda had his first two-goal game of the season to keep Joma Bonita in the regular season championship hunt.
