Bathco BM. Torrelavega has made a statement in this 11th day by reinforcing its position as the second place in the Plenitude League. The team led by Jacobo Cuétara has 18 points after beating IMPULSE BM. Guadalajara (36-30) this Sunday, thanks to its great form, supported in the goal by Carlos Calle (best goalkeeper of the day, with almost 42% effectiveness between the posts), Javi Muñoz and Ángel Fernández (14 goals between the two). The 'Orange Squad' thus moves away from its direct pursuers, immersed in their own competition that promises to be exceptional.
ABANCA Ademar León becomes third after overcoming Fraikin BM. Granollers (31-24), precisely the fourth in discord within the fight at the top of the ASOBAL territory. The Leonese signed one of their best matches of the season, minimizing the resources of the blanc-i-blaus, with Antonio García receiving the affection of the Castilian fans after announcing his retirement from professional sport at the end of the season. Viveros Herol BM. Nava and Bidasoa Irun accumulate 13 points in the fifth and sixth position, respectively, reaching cruising speed in December.
The Naveros celebrated their first victory in O Gatañal against a good Frigoríficos del Morrazo (34-35), which maintained equality until the last moments. The Bidasoans also scored the two points at the end of the match, against Servigroup Hoteles Benidorm (31-30), in this case, with an individual performance more than outstanding by Iñaki Cavero (5 out of 5) and Esteban Salinas (also perfect in the 6-meter line, with 6 goals). Recoletas At. Valladolid and REBI Handball Cuenca also have a draw in the classification, completing the first group of teams leading the Plenitude League.
The 'Blue Gladiators' competed well against Barça, more leader, (34-30), with a great Álvaro Martínez (8 goals), starring in a duel of exquisite left-handed players against Melvyn Richardson (11 goals). Cuenca, for its part, beat Ángel Ximénez Puente Genil (35-28) with Pablo Simonet showing his stripes, being the best center of the entire day (8 goals scored). Equality is not a thing of the first teams in the classification. The fight to avoid relegation heats up at times, with Tubos Aranda Villa de Aranda currently leading the way.
After beating Benidorm days ago in the postponed match of the calendar, Aranda has reaffirmed its great moment by overcoming at home BM. Logroño La Rioja (32-27), again with Dalmau Huix and Arthur Pereira leading the offensive facet. It has a total of 9 points, the same as, precisely, Logroño. These are two more than the already mentioned Cangas and Helvetia Anaitasuna, which took a 'Match of the Day' dressed as a crucial clash against Bada Huesca (35-40). The Pamplonicas imposed their rhythm and efficiency in both parts of the court, with a great Xabi González, signing a stellar performance.
