Abstract: We give the description of discretized moduli spaces (d.m.s.) $Mcdisc$ introduced in cite{Ch1} in terms of discrete de Rham cohomologies for moduli spaces $Mgn$. The generating function for intersection indices (cohomological classes) of d.m.s. is found. Classes of highest degree coincide with the ones for the continuum moduli space $Mc$. To show it we use a matrix model technique. The Kontsevich matrix model is the generating function in the continuum case, and the matrix model with the potential $$ is the one for d.m.s. In the latest case the effects of Deligne--Mumford reductions become relevant, and we use the stratification procedure in order to express integrals over open spaces $Mdisc$ in terms of intersection indices, which are to be calculated on compactified spaces $Mcdisc$. We find and solve constraint equations on partition function $calZ$ of our matrix model expressed in times for d.m.s.: $t^p{m}_m=rfr{d}^{m}d{l}^{m}fr1e^l-1$. It appears that $calZ$ depends only on even times and $calZ[t^p{m}_{c}dot]=C(aaN)e^{calA}{e}^{F(t_{2n}^{-})+F(-t_{2n}^{+})}$, where $F(t^p{m}_{2n})$ is a logarithm of the partition function of the Kontsevich model, $calA$ being a quadratic differential operator in $dd{t}^p{m}_{2n}$.
