Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto lose to Servigroup Benidorm
Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto lost their second pre-season match to Servigroup Benidorm (27–26). The Benidorm side, newly promoted to the Silver Honour Division and managed by former red-and-white player Fernando Latorre, overturned the 11–16 scoreline at half-time, and a 4–0 spell in the opening minutes of the second half was enough to level the match and keep it that way, thanks to a superb performance from Cuban goalkeeper Rey Enrique.

Fertiberia BM Puerto Sagunto lost their second pre-season match to Servigroup Benidorm (27–26).
The Benidorm side, newly promoted to the Silver Honour Division and managed by former red-and-white player Fernando Latorre, overturned the 11–16 scoreline at half-time, and a 4–0 spell in the opening minutes of the second half was enough to level the match and keep it that way, thanks to a superb performance from Cuban goalkeeper Rey Enrique. Red-and-white coach Patxi Martí said “a typical pre-season match, with many mistakes in attack and defence and few positive feelings from us on either side of the court”. Pachi stated that “we were poor in every respect, even from seven metres, where we missed five shots. Regarding the second half, he said “we allowed Benidorm to react and bring the match back to where it had started”. Martí regretted that “we did not know how to manage the lead and, mainly because of complacency and a poor work ethic, we allowed them to beat us”. On the positive side, Sebastián had a good spell in goal, while Toni Alegre and Tello also made valuable contributions with some quality plays during the match.
The next match will be on Wednesday 28 at 20:15, against a strong Fraikin BM Granollers side, who will once again test the pre-season level of the Valencian red-and-white squad.
