The Jaime Alegre de Enguera Municipal Pavilion hosted the Jocs Esportius Provincial Championship of the Valencian Community in the juvenile category. The youngest category could not be celebrated due to the suspension of the days of this season due to Covid-19.

The Xàtiva Badminton Club had the presence of six athletes, four of them youngest who managed to classify in a category higher than their own.

Three couples participated in the doubles test: Martina Molina and Felio Terol; Irene Orquín and Lucas Pla and Sarai Ramón and Ximo Torres, the latter qualifying for the semifinals. They faced the CB San Fernando de Valencia couple formed by Peio Olmos and Leitza Olmos in a very equal match that was decided in the third set after 35 minutes.

The Setabense couple began the match by losing the first set by 18-21, but they knew how to recover and after another very disputed set they matched the match by winning by 21-19, reaching the third set where they showed a better level of play and prevailed by 21 -9.

In this way they agreed to the final that faced the couple formed by Alejandro García and Ciro Gómez from CB Manises, who were beaten without so many difficulties by 21-14 and 21-19 in 24 minutes.

In the individual section Feliu Terol and Ximo Torres had different fortunes. On the one hand, Feliu could not overcome the group stage as he was framed next to two high-level teammates, nevertheless he showed a great level of play and dedication in both games, selling his defeat dearly.

On the other hand, Ximo Torres did make it to the semifinals, where he met with the player Angela Viray from CB San Fernando de Valencia who won 21-16 and 21-17 in two very even sets.

On this occasion, third place was at stake and Ximo Torres faced local athlete Jorge Francés from CB Enguera in a 39-minute match that fell from the local side by 20-22, 21-13 and 15-21.

Training day

At the same time, Enguera organized a training day and matches for athletes in the youngest category who have not been able to compete throughout the season due to the restrictions imposed at the competitive level.

More than twenty players attended this call, among them athletes from the Xàtiva Badminton Club and the Xàtiva Municipal Badminton Sports School who enjoyed an intense day on Saturday with the exercises and games proposed by the coaches and volunteers of CB Enguera.
