Ball: The couple of Gisasola and Segurola, the only one in contention this afternoon at the Astelena

The Astelena fronton will suffer little this week, since it will only host two matches of the Gipuzkoa Championship in pairs of handball, corresponding to the last day of the first phase and of CD Eibar‘s pelotaris. Last night the seniors Ibarra and Aguirresarobe faced the Azkoitiako couple Oteiza 1, a duel between the two best duos in group A in the Third Division.

But this afternoon, starting at 6:00 p.m., the official match at 8:00 p.m. will be completed with three friendly matches between the young people from the ball school. Thus, Manex Kerejeta and Egoi Motriko, in red, will face Gari Olaetxea and Urko Iso, in blue. In the second, the couple of Markel Segurola and Markel Urain will face Manex Arrieta and Patxi Flores. To finish this preview, the cadets Amillategi and Del Rey will have an individual match.

At 8:00 p.m., the juniors Segurola and Gisasola will face the Behar pair Zana 3 (Amasa-Villabona). The locals are third with 5 points, the same as the visiting pair. If the score ends in favor of the Eibar team, they would go to the second round as second in group A. After beating the couple of Alberdi and Pascual 14-22 in Hernani last day in the penultimate match of this round , they will want to continue giving continuity to their good moment.

Instead, three couples rest on this crucial day for their future in the competition. In cadets, Amillategi and Del Rey, present in this afternoon’s friendly at Astelena, are eliminated from the Championship after obtaining one victory and two defeats. They will finish fourth with 4 points. Therefore, they will not play the next phase and will continue to play the tournament according to their geographical area. As for Gil and Varona, they have won all their matches and are classified for the next round. And in the youth category, Amuategi and Azpilikueta have not suffered the same fate. On the contrary, they have lost the four duels played and will have the same fate as the cadets Amillategi and Del Rey.

Already on rubber paddle, on Sunday at 11:00 a.m. at the municipal fronton of Aia, Guisasola and Sologaistua will face the local couple. Last day they lost 21-25 against Mundarro at Astelena, which currently places them in seventh position with 4 points. Those from the coast do not have points in their locker, so they can be an affordable rival to climb the standings.

As for the rest of the couples, the one formed by Guinea, Soria and Ferreiro will compete again next week. They are second in group C with 8 points, the same as Hernani. Osa, Lombraña and Urain are in a similar situation, playing a new confrontation next week. They are second with 6 points, having won all their matches. They are the only undefeated team in group B, so they have a good chance of advancing to the next round.

The competition continues until the second week of November, with three and four days still to be played depending on the group. The three CD Eibar teams maintain their options.
