A happy final delivery for Alser

Tomorrow afternoon, Alser BM Puerto Sagunto will enjoy a peaceful and emotional afternoon on the final matchday of the 2010–2011 Liga Asobal season. This is what good students usually achieve when they apply themselves to their work, and Alser BM Puerto Sagunto’s debut season has achieved its objective with plenty of time to spare. Their opponents, SD Arrate, have also fulfilled their sporting objectives, although financial difficulties are casting uncertainty over the Basque project.

The afternoon will begin with the Survival Party at 14:30, where around 300 guests will enjoy paella, naturally, followed by musical performances, inflatable games for children and raffles for club sports equipment. Without doubt, one of the highlights of the celebration will come when the players can spend some time with the supporters, as manager Goran Dozkic has called them in an hour earlier than usual so that they can take part in this well-deserved party.

Then, from 18:30, the setting will move from the Internúcleos car park to its usual venue, that OVNI which has hosted emotions for the past 14 matches, among supporters who have understood like no others that elite handball had returned to Puerto de Sagunto after forty years and, as one of the club’s slogans for this season says, “we have come to stay”. The match will be a moment for farewells, some official and others unofficial, and surely the entire squad will want to thank everyone in the best way an athlete knows how: by giving their all and adding the two points at stake.

Two points which, if secured and Torrevieja were to drop at least one point through a draw in Alcobendas, could lift Alser to eleventh place in the final table.
