A decade ago a local youth squad was not proclaimed regional champion |
The Municipal School of Children's Handball in its masculine modality has left today to lands of Almeria to defend the title of regional champion of its category achieved three weeks ago in the play-off played in Cartagena.
The mayor of Jumilla, Juana Guardiola, yesterday attended the last training of the team before its participation in the national sector with the aim of congratulating the kids and wish them luck in Andalusian lands.
"It is an honor for Jumilla that these kids of 12 and 13 years have managed to put the name of local handball nationally in their category," he said.
The team coached by Sergio Piñero will be measured this afternoon at 6.30 pm at Cajamar Urci de Almería and tomorrow Friday at 6.15 pm at Deportivo Real de Almeria, in the group stage.
The first two classified will enter the final phase of the sector, whose champion will dispute the national title.
A decade ago, a team from the local handball quarry did not proclaim itself a regional champion.
The closest precedent dates from the 2007/08 season, when the men's youth team took the title and disputed the national sector in Alicante.
