Achieve victory in the three matches against the team led by Jaka at the Txikito fronton in Gallarta

The Anboto team, which has Mikel Urrutikoetxea as captain, yesterday made it through to the next round of the Bizkaia tournament. He achieved victory in the three matches of different modalities in which the Kolitza team, led by Jaka, were measured at the Txikito fronton in Gallarta.

Professional handball returned to activity after the week of vacations and the pelotaris accused the lack of filming, but the star of the Biscayan town was good. In pairs, the one from Zaratamo and Mariezkurrena II added a hard-fought victory (22-17) against the one from Lizartza and Albisu. The compensation shown by the Colorados was key to carrying out a duel that was difficult for them to break and in which fatigue had its influence.

The winners finished fresher, but had to work hard to tie up a tight confrontation until goal 15. The spark of the Navarrese defender was decisive for his teammate to have gaps with which to finish the goal, but Berriozar’s also managed some of great merit by putting the ball in box eleven.

Jaka and Albisu started the contest better because Lizartza’s punter took better advantage of the chances he had in his field and was successful in the shot. With the forces balanced behind, he managed to make the difference in the first five goals. However, the one from Zaratamo began to come into play more and the light reflected a tie at six that predicted a battle.

The second day will take place today at the Matiena pediment, in Abadiño, with the representatives of Aspe

The Gipuzkoans gave another small arreón again to place themselves with a 7-10, but from then on their own mistakes brought their opponents into the fray. The Biscayan and the Navarrese went from less to more until they were able to turn the situation around and face the clash (14-10).

Jaka returned to reclaim his leading role, aware that the match could escape them, and his inspiration caused the match to record its last tie at 15. From then on, the Colorados maintained their performance and their rivals were long in the end. Mariezkurrena II commanded the long frames and his striker moved the ball with great discretion until he secured the point.

Scare of Artola

In the confrontation of the ‘cage’ that opened the festival, Peña II beat Artola (18-14) after the scare caused by the striker from Alegia. With the score at 14-12, he slipped on the backcourt when returning a two-wall from his rival and was left lying on the ground with pain in his right leg. He retired to the locker room accompanied by the doctor and, after carrying out different tests, he returned to the field, although he was still not the same with the fear in his body. Head-to-head, Alberdi defeated Zubizarreta III (18-12) in a match that started at the halfway point.

Today the second day will take place at the Matiena pediment, in Abadiño, with the presence of representatives from Aspe. Elezkano II will face Peio Etxeberria inside the ‘cage’, Ezkurdia and Rezusta will play against Irribarria and Zabaleta in pairs, and Elordi against Zabala on the full court.
