The second day of Italian league has been played on famous Vergiate course, which hosted the last edition of European Team Cup.
Despite of the weather forecasts, that said it should have rained all the weekend, the two days have been quite dry and the tournament could be played in a regular way (only a bit humid lanes in the morning).
Of course GSP Vergiate was clearly favourite to take the second victory of the season, and they managed to do that with a really impressive score: 531 strokes (29.5 average), which is almost the same than the average they setted at the European Team Cup when they got the bronze medal. A very special performance considering also the not easy weather conditions.
GSP Cusano played a good tournament with 30.3 average but could not do anything to challenge the home team, finishing 15 strokes behind them but 12 better than MT Amatese which overtook MC Monza for the 3rd place.
As ever, no history in the ladies competition with GSP Cusano winning with 32 strokes advantage on MMC Paderno and 36 on MC Monza.
These are the team rankings of the day

1 GSP VERGIATE 182 172 177 531 29,5

The league situation now is pretty defined, because GSP Vergiate should come worst than 4th in the last day in Canegrate to lose the league, and this seems pretty difficult because there are only 4 teams challenging at a high level.
GSP Cusano ladies has already won the league because there are only 3 teams in the ladies tournament and even if they get a 3rd place in the last day, they would be on top of the ranking.
Individually, the best 3 male players of Vergiate day has been the same of the previous in Cusano, only in different order: Roberto Garbui (GSP Vergiate) that was 2nd in Cusano now took the victory with 84 strokes (31-25-28) and exchanged place with Paolo Porta (GSP Cusano) winner in Cusano, that now was 2nd with 85 strokes (27-30-28). Stefano Piccini (MT Amatese) confirmed the 3rd place with 86 strokes (28-26-32).
