Erkiaga and Zabala, first finalists in Gernika

Erkiaga and Zabala expect a rival pair in the final of the Gernika Winter Series after beating Beaskoetxea and Aldazabal 2-1 (15-7, 10-15 and 5-1) in last night’s semifinal, again with 1,400 spectators. Erkiaga’s contribution, especially in the first set and the third, was fundamental. He signed four side shots in the final joko. Goikoetxea-Aimar and Olharan-Etcheto will play the second semifinal next Monday.
