The 15th Local Sports Gala was another show of support for Fertiberia Puerto Sagunto

Last Friday evening, the Begoña Theatre in Puerto Sagunto hosted the 15th Local Sports Gala, where Balonmano Puerto Sagunto played a prominent role. Hosted brilliantly by Palmira Benajas, it presented individual and collective awards to the most relevant figures of the 2012-2013 season in the city. Antonio Sarió Sanchez, winner of the Emilio Villagrasa Award for individual sporting achievement; Fertiberia SA, winner of the award for the company that provided the greatest support for sport this year; and BM Puerto Sagunto itself, chosen as the Best Local Sports Organisation, were the three awards that gave the event a distinctly red-and-white character. Juanjo Bataller, President of BM Puerto Sagunto, collected the award, and this was his speech: "This season has been one of mixed emotions. It began with the team relegated and without the financial means to play in Liga Asobal. Fertiberia's providential arrival as sponsor enabled us to put together a team and compete in the top division. Reaching the Copa del Rey Final Four and being in Logroño among the four best teams in Spain was not part of any of our forecasts. It has been like living a dream. We hope that next season we can repeat it. On behalf of the Club, I would like to thank the Consell Municipal de L'Esport for presenting us with this award, and the Town Council, led by its Mayor, which has always supported us. I dedicate it to our main sponsor, Fertiberia; to the municipal groups that approved the motion supporting the club; to the fans and supporters who signed the platform's manifesto when we were in a desperate situation; to the media, who have always stood by us; to all our members and fans; and especially to the fans of our team who work at Galmed and are having such a difficult time. I hope that together we can all reverse this situation. "
