The upset he got a month ago when he was left out of the top-notch Manomanista is not so great anymore. Peio Etxeberria won the promotion txapela yesterday and next year he will be with the greats again. That is your site. He demonstrated it in the Labrit pediment in front of Egiguren V. Playing one step down was a challenge for the Navarrese because he knew he could not fail. He had to bear the pressure of favoritism from the beginning, but he has managed to manage it perfectly. Suffer and step forward when you had to.
Against Azpeitia he had a much more comfortable duel than expected. The one who wore blue only managed to bother him in the first few bars. But the moment he released ballast and heated up his machinery, the rhythm he imposed was very difficult for the Guipuzcoan to endure.. He had to be more aware of defending than of anything else, and he did not hit the few occasions that he counted to change the dynamics of the goal or finish it.
The path traveled so far in professionalism on the part of Zenotz is broader and much more set. At 20, Egiguren V’s evolution is good but it needs time so that your body heats up and achieves a more consistent repertoire.

Very hungry
On the Navarran court he could not translate his strategy because he found himself in front of a very hungry player who had much more at stake. And the course of events ended up overtaking him. He held out in the first blank goals in which the rhythm was high and there was rally, but the moment Peio Etxeberria started to sweat, everything turned his face.
He kept his concentration at all times and played practical. He took advantage of his blow to have his rival away from the frontis and avoided getting entangled in fights that led to nothing. He moved the ball well and scored a four-point strike that allowed him to settle. It is true that he gave up a couple of raisins because Azpeitia’s tried to pressure him on the serve, but they did not cause major headaches because he managed to recover immediately.
He crossed the ball well and forced his opponent with his left foot to reach the halfway point of the contest with an advantage of seven goals (12-5) that ratified his proposal. The second half of the contest was much more bearable for the Navarrese because he improved with the first pitch and had better chances to finish the goal. He managed to take the initiative at all times and the many continued to fall from his side without Egiguren V being able to get him out of his place. The Gipuzkoan took a risk in the last bars when he saw that the crash was definitely leaving him, but things did not go well for him either.
Third place
The Uranzu fronton of Irún hosts today (5:00 p.m.) the fight for the third place of the Manomanista of the first between Zabaleta and Rezusta. The back row duel has acquired greater repercussion than usual because the winner will be the substitute for the final and will play it in the event that Artola does not recover from his muscular injury in the back. On the other hand, Aspe will begin talks with Víctor tomorrow to incorporate him to its staff before July 1.
The Bizkaia Shovel Tournament defines its semifinals
The Bizkaia Open International Tournament defined its semifinals yesterday after the last day of the qualifying round played at the Bizkaia fronton. Fusto and Del Río will face Necol and Agustín Maldonado after the seconds were imposed (1-3) on Gaubeka and Gordon in a duel that were much more solid than their rivals.
The ‘rooster’ of Armintza and that of Sopela will face Román Maldonado and Ibai Pérez. It was enough for them to add a game and they did it but the feelings they transmitted were not good. The Argentine and the one from Sestao occupied the second place after beating (3-0) Ibarguren and Urrutia.
