Eighteen years separate Oihana Orbegozo, from Azpeitia, 35, from Naroa Agirre, from Zestoa, 17. They belong to the same region, that of Urola, but to different generations. Although they share a passion for the ball, the trajectories of one and the other bear few similarities.
Zagueras, both meet this afternoon in the final of the Emakume Master Cup-Laboral Kutxa. Not as partners, but as rivals. Oihana Orbegozo, that in this tournament has been released with mixed ball at a competitive level, accompanies Amaia Aldai, an outstanding Basque pelotari from Dima. Naroa Agirre, more used to this material, covers the back of Patri Espinar, Usansolo’s forward.
They will play behind closed doors, without an audience. The festival, announced for 12 noon and broadcast live on ETB1, starts with the clash for third place between Arrizabalaga-Gentzane Aldai and Ruiz de Infante-Arrillaga.
The Emakume Master Cup has adopted for this edition a reduced format of eight pairs in contrast to the free registration of previous years. The objective has been to save the tournament within the organizational difficulties that prevail today due to sanitary measures.
