What a fantastic 2023 Red-and-White Spartans Gala we enjoyed last Monday at the Casal Jove in Puerto de Sagunto! 250 people filled the auditorium, which could also be watched on Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto’s YouTube channel thanks to all the work by PSG Media. Hosted by regular presenters Pepa Conesa and Carlos Argente, the awards created by Joyería Serrano for the event were presented one after another. The first awards went to the club’s three budget pillars: Fertiberia, the Town Council and the Trinidad Alfonso Foundation. The first two were represented by Juan Arbona, Director of the Sagunto Factory, and Darío Moreno, Mayor of the city. The Foundation’s award was collected by Miguel Ángel Valero, Manager of the Valencian Community Handball Federation. They were followed by another award recognising decades of sponsorship, represented by Telemix, which was represented by its owner, Hector Martin. There was also room to recognise the club’s supporters’ group, PEÑA MAREAROJIBLANCA 2009, represented by its president, Miguel Blasco. The volunteers, Jose Luis Gallen, first-team delegate, and Dr Nacho Nebot also collected their well-deserved awards. On an evening that is always emotional, the Red-and-White Spartan Legend award for Pedro Conde was one of the gala’s highlights. Rafa García Marín, the club’s official chronicler, paid tribute to the red-and-white legend, who holds the record for the most seasons as the club’s first-team manager: no fewer than 14. The award for last season’s best coach went to the man who returned the club to ASOBAL: Toni Malla. As for the academy teams, the Alevín side marked a historic moment, as this was the first time in its 72-season history that the red-and-white club had registered a team in that category. The award was attended by three representatives of the successive first youth, cadet and children’s teams: Emilio Jordán, Jose Maria Sanchez Gabaldón and Sergio Rodríguez Berges, representing the other occasions on which the club began its development in the youth categories. Finally, Juvenil A received the Spartan award for Red-and-White Values: this generation has also achieved, for the first time in the club’s history, regional cadet and youth championships and a place in the Top 8 of the best Spanish clubs. To close the event, President Bataller and Mayor Darío Moreno Lerga gave speeches, recalling the challenge that participation in the Professional Plenitude Asobal League represents for the club and the city.
