The promotion phase to ASOBAL will be held at the Ovni

The promotion phase to ASOBAL will be held at the Ovni on 8 and 9 June. The red-and-whites are mathematically confirmed as runners-up in the División de Honor Plata league after beating Bordils 39–20 and Antequera doing likewise against Alarcos Ciudad Real.

The first half belonged to the red-and-whites; the home side wanted to play the promotion phase at the Ovni and showed it by taking to the Ovni court with all guns blazing. During the first ten minutes they built up a substantial lead thanks to Bruixola’s saves and the pace on the counter-attack from the wings, Pocholo and Folqués. Dorado was also effective in attack and, with a comfortable lead on the scoreboard, Nogués gave the younger players some minutes. They maintained the advantage and went into half-time 18–10 ahead.

The same pattern continued in the second half; the whole team contributed, with Chueca in goal and Óscar García outstanding in attack. A few minutes before the final whistle, the supporters declared, ‘yes, yes, yes, the promotion phase is happening here’. The team said goodbye to its supporters, for now, because in June, if all goes well, we can celebrate that #volveremos to ASOBAL.
