A.S.D. Tre Pini Matese is an Italian association football club based in Sepicciano, Piedimonte Matese, Caserta, Campania. The club currently plays in Eccellenza Molise.[1]
History
The club was founded in 2012 as A.S.D. Tre Pini Sporting Matese. Tre Pini Sporting Matese was admitted to Prima Categoria for the 2012–13 season, winning promotion to Promozione Molise after finishing as champions and recording a total of 76 points from 30 games.[2]
During the 2015–16 season, Tre Pini finished as runners-up to Polisportiva Gioventù Calcio Dauna in Eccellenza Molise, though there was some controversy as to whether Dauna and another club, U.S. Venafro had become embroiled in a corruption scandal. As a result of this, several representatives of Gioventù Dauna received fines ranging from €5,000 to €10,000, while the other accused club, Venafro were fined a sum of €4,000. This meant that Dauna's first-placed finish was awarded to second-placed Tre Pini, with the accused club remaining in Eccellenza for the following campaign. Consequently, Tre Pini was temporarily admitted to Serie D for the 2016–17 season. A federal tribunal found Dauna innocent of any wrongdoing and their title and promotion was restored.[3]
Cup run
The 2013–14 season saw the club compete in the Coppa Italia Dilettanti Molise for the first time in its history. Tre Pini did not make it past the group-stage. The following season, the team qualified for the semi-finals of the cup. This was mirrored in the 2015–16 season. The 2016–17 season saw them top their group and go on to play in the quarter-finals of the tournament, though, Tre Pini would fall to a (6–5 aggregate defeat), after winning the home leg 3–2, then losing 2–4 away to Isernia.
Colours and club crest
Tre Pini's home colours are green and white. The club's badge which depicts three pine trees atop three peaks pays homage to the town of Piedimonte Matese and the surrounding area in the mountainous region of Campania in Southern Italy.
Local clubs
Their closest rivals in terms of distance are A.S.D. Alliphae, an Alife-based club, and then the more established Caserta-based outfit Casertana. The distance between Alife and Piedimonte Matese is about 3.3 miles (5.5 km), whilst Caserta is approx 24 miles (40 km) away.
Matches
On 11 February 2016, Tre Pini hosted a friendly against Casertana with I Falchetti finishing the game in double figures in what would be a 10−0 hammering.[4] Following their 0−10 thumping back in February; a second friendly match was held at Stadio Pasqualino Ferrante on 21 August, during the 2016−17 pre-season. Goals from Matmute and Giorno were enough to give the away side a second successive victory over their rivals.
