Fertiberia play their first friendly at the Ovni tomorrow

Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto continue their pre-season preparations for their return to Asobal. Vicent Nogués's men will play their first friendly at the Ovni tomorrow at 8.15 p.m. After making their debut against Granollers, the red-and-whites will face BM Ciudad Encantada, another Asobal team they will compete against next season. The match will be free and, one hour beforehand, the board will distribute members' passes at the entrance to the pavilion for the port team's return to the top tier of Spanish handball.

Coach Vicent Nogués once again sees the match against the Cuenca team as preparation to help the players understand what they will face this year in Asobal: “A match to continue growing and improving, once again against a high-ranking team. The aim is to continue reducing inaccuracies in our play and getting into match rhythm. The other day we played 30 very good minutes; let's see if we can extend our competitive playing time a little further”, said the Fertiberia coach.

Two weeks have now passed since the start of the red-and-whites' preparations for their return to Asobal, and Nogués gave a positive assessment: “They are working very well, doing a great deal of physical conditioning work and training twice a day almost every day. They have already started to get a feel for the ball, and we are revisiting things we worked on last year to correct mistakes and clarify concepts”.

In addition to on-court training, running on the athletics tracks and typical pre-season sessions, the players have completed special sessions. Last week they held a session at the municipal inter-district swimming pool to work on endurance. As usual, the players also ran in the 52nd Volta a Peu al Port de Sagunto, organised every year by Club Deportivos Camp de Morvedre.
