GRIFONE 2007 - HOW THE PARS RATED

MARCO SEMINO (6.5/10) - Produced a great, and fundamental, save with the scores at 3-1 Dunfermline. On top of that, the usual reassuring presence and the dressing room has now openly stated its desire to retain his services next season, despite Semi's declared intention of retiring.

FABIO FRASSINELLI (6/10) - He tried to play a sweeping role, but sometimes left Merello or Ducco to deal with the upcoming opponents' forwards. Still, he's a great defender.

ALESSANDRO MERELLO (7/10) - What a performance! He kept his opponents at bay and made a number of crucial tackles and clearances, occasionally surging forward in style to contribute to many attacking moves.

DAVIDE DUCCO (6.5/10) - He came off the bench and was placed in the middle of the park, then shifted to the back when Marletta was reinstated. In both positions, he did frankly well.

FILIPPO FINOTTI (6.5/10) - He's one of those players who, although talented and gited with technique, will always sacrifice for the common cause by putting in a number of runs and defensive contributions. His third appearance for the Pars, and a perfect makeweight for Bovalino at the other end.

ALDO MARLETTA (7/10) - Had he been at his finest, he would probably have added a "real" goal to a spot on performace. His long range efforts, barring a miscued one in the second period, were dangerous. He provided Cantelli with the 2-1 goal delivery, and triggered an own goal on the 4-1 occasion, although he's not likely to be credited with the goal itself.

MATTEO BOVALINO (7/10) - He ran, ran, and ran some more. Incidentally, he also started the move which ended up with Cantelli scoring the 2-1 goal. A vintage performance, with quality and style.

MARCO CANTELLI (8/10) - Two goals, a peach of a delivery for Rossi's goal and the usual strength and quality. He was sorely missed for a large chunk of the 2008/2009 campaign, but now he's making up for lost ground.

STEFANO ROSSI (7/10) - Coming on as a sub at the start of the second half, he only took seconds to net his second goal for the club with his second touch of the ball. One thing is for certain, he's a first class player, also able to contribute defensively.
