After the Christmas break, the new comxicotetion for round-trip matches of the handball teams was resumed. On Saturday, the men's youth team moved Club Handbol Xàbia to Orihuela to play the first leg match against C.BM. Orihuela The Marina Alta team traveled with 6 track players and two goalkeepers, which forced me to dose the effort, especially taking into account that the Oriolan team had 16 players.
The start of the game was balanced until, by hits of the premises, they went on the scoreboard to an 10-5. From that moment, a timeout by the Xabieros made the attack readjust and the end of the first half was reached with a hopeful 13-14.
The second half continued with alternations on the scoreboard with a high level of attack and defense. Unfortunately the effort made a dent in those of Xàbia. In the last part of the match a local reaction determined the final result of 30-26. The team is now waiting for the second leg with great hopes of being able to play the 4 goals difference.
