2012-11-16Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto(15th, 4 points) are seeking another victory this Saturday from 6.30 pm at their Ovni home ground against ARS Palma del Río(14th, 4 points). This season, only the two giants of Spanish handball, Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid, have managed to win on the Valencian court. The match against ARS Palma del Río is vital given the likely relegation battle in which the Cordoban and Valencian sides will be involved until the end of the season in Liga ASOBAL.
Last week’s defeat against Helvetia Anaitasuna after fifty evenly matched minutes has meant that the squad have marked this match on the calendar as vital for maintaining their unbeaten home record at the Ovni against teams from their league.
In the red and whites’ favour are their solidity at the Ovni, with victories against Guadalajara and Granollers, and the fact that the Palma side have also yet to open their away winning account. On the other hand, the pressure of playing at home may count against them, making the points more decisive for Fertiberia than for ARS.
Fertiberia’s manager will be without Catalan defender Mateu Castellà, who is still recovering from the hand fracture he suffered against his former team, Guadalajara. For the Cordoban side, coach Cesar Montes has the full squad available, although they may feel the effects of travelling by coach on the same day.
In short, another crucial match at the Pabellón Internucleos Ovni for Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto, where the supporters’ encouragement must drive them towards victory. At present, both teams are level on four points in the Liga ASOBAL table after nine rounds.
The Ovni will also enjoy every possible aspect of the great world of handball this Saturday afternoon. At half-time in this match, another wonderful facet of handball, under the slogan “schools play too”, will see two school teams from Colegio Maria Inmaculada, a nursery for young players, given the chance to enjoy the Ovni’s court and watch this major handball occasion alongside their coaches. After the Liga ASOBAL match, the handball afternoon will continue in style at the Ovni. Our beloved women’s club BM Morvedre have a top-flight clash for their senior team. Nothing less than Handbol Mislata, the leaders and undisputed heavyweights of the Segunda Nacional Femenina in the Valencian Community. We’ll see you there!
