Morgaetxebarria and Ibarloza got off to a good start in the eighteenth edition of the Biharko Izarrak amateur pelota tournament, which takes place in Mallabia and is sponsored by EL CORREO. The two Biscayan defenders performed at a good level and carried out their respective matches. Amorebieta and Elola outscored De la Fuente and Prieto with great authority (22-6) in a duel in which they imposed their greatest punch against disabled rivals who could do little. Mungia’s bodyguard was outclassed in every way, and his partner had very little ball to tangle in the merry squares.
Elola did a lot of damage with the opening play, despite committing two fouls, and Morgaetxebarria was very comfortable in his field. The advantage at the halfway point was seven goals (11-4), but those who wore blue never gave the feeling of being able to squeeze their rivals. With Prieto overwhelmed, the match ended in thirty minutes and 208 balls.
Murua and Ibarloza needed to work harder to get rid of Igoa and Apezetxea (22-16). Last year’s runner-up and the one from Markina scored eight goals after the tie at six with which they managed to get the game back on track. With the wind in their favor, they kept a cool head and avoided the reaction of their rivals. They got to 20-11 in the light, but relaxed at the end and allowed the difference to be cut.
