The day began with our junior team's match against Real Murcia C. After a close first half, a drop in performance in the second half prevented our team from securing a victory to end the season. The club would like to congratulate the entire team on a fantastic season.
Also on Saturday morning, our mini team traveled to Totana to face Real Murcia B. Despite competing with more than half of their players being girls, they gave it their all. The Murcia team's superior physicality earned them a well-deserved victory. With the attitude and enthusiasm of these boys and girls, their progress is constant, and victories are sure to come.
On Sunday morning, our Boys' Cadet team faced Él Carmen in the capital. From the outset, the superiority of the Siyasa boys was evident, although nerves led to too many early errors that prevented them from pulling away on the scoreboard. After a lackluster first half, in the third quarter they were able to unleash their usual lively and fast-paced style of play, establishing a lead that was never in danger of being relinquished.
The final quarter became a mere formality to secure a well-deserved 39-55 victory.
The sportsmanship of the home team's fans is noteworthy, as they acknowledged the superiority and basketball lesson of the team led by Panos.
Next Sunday at 10 a.m. they will face Bullas.
Also on Sunday, at the Juan José Angosto pavilion, Asesoría Saorín Siyasa senior faced a crucial match against the league leader, Estudiantes Cartagena.
The game didn't start well for the home team, due to turnovers and fast breaks by the visiting team, putting them up by as many as 12 points. Accuracy from beyond the arc, defensive intensity, and a fierce battle under the boards gradually chipped away at this deficit until they achieved the much-needed 75-68 victory.
It is worth highlighting the importance of the experience of the local coach, José Luis, who at the key moments of the game tipped the scales in favor of Asesoría Saorín.
On the other hand, two members of the junior team, Cristóbal and Juanje, enjoyed their opportunity during the match, demonstrating the club's clear commitment to players from lower categories.
With this victory, Asesoría SaorIn Siyasa gets into the promotion race, awaiting the crucial match on Sunday at 12 against Águilas, here in Cieza.
