Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto’s Cadete team compete from tomorrow, Friday, until Sunday in Group G of the Spanish Championship in the city of Cuenca, as runners-up in the Valencian Community.
The youngsters coached by Fertiberia’s Sporting Director, Toni Sarió, will face the hosts BM Ciudad Encantada, a classic in the youth categories with a prolific academy, Cordoba BM, and the all-powerful F.C. Barcelona.
It will be FC Barcelona, coached by handball legend Andrey Xepkin, who will be the rojiblancos’ first opponents, this Friday from 18:00. The second fixture will be on Saturday, when El Sargal will be filled with rojiblanco support throughout the day. The Cadete team will play Cordoba BM from 10:30 in the morning, and that same afternoon the Asobal team will visit the same venue to play the crucial penultimate league match, with survival at stake.
The final test in this demanding examination for the rojiblanco Cadete team will be the last tournament match against the hosts, scheduled for 12:30 on Sunday. The winners of this group of four will reach the Final Eight, alongside the best teams from each of the groups in contention.
Ultimately, these youngsters face a high-performance tournament, which will be the rojiblanca academy’s second consecutive group stage after the youth tournament at the Ovni. It also coincides with two major events for the city’s handball supporters. This weekend, women’s club BM Morvedre will have its senior team at the René Marigil seeking another opportunity for promotion to the División de Honor Plata, while its Cadete team will also compete in the category’s Spanish Championship, with morning and afternoon matches on all three days of the weekend.
Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto still have one final high-profile weekend ahead, with the organisation of the Infantil group stage and the final Asobal league match against Villa de Aranda.
