Puertas Padilla dreams of being the best team in Spain
The Cartagena team will play in a month for the group leadership against Huelva and in May they will fight to become league champions.
We are running out of words to talk about Puertas Padilla Cartagena, the team that is completing an outstanding season in the highest category of Spanish badminton and that aspires to become the League champion in May. The elite of this sport in Spain, the Division of Honor, is made up of ten clubs divided into two groups of five. And the Cartageneros are just one match away from becoming champions of the regular phase.
To do so, Puertas Padilla must put all five senses in the match scheduled for Saturday, March 22. That day is the last day of the regular league and is at stake to be proclaimed group champion, as the Cartagena will visit his most immediate pursuer in the standings: the Recreativo IES La Orden de Huelva. The Huelva team is one of the great kings of the sport, having won no less than nine league titles, the last three in a row.
In the Huelva ranks, in fact, is Pablo Abián. The player from Zaragoza, an Olympian on several occasions, is the best player in Spain. The last precedent between Puertas Padilla Badminton Cartagena and Recreativo IES La Orden de Huelva dates back to just over a month ago, with a favorable result for the Cartagena team, who played at the Central Pavilion (4-3). Another resounding blow on the table was given on February 8 with the resounding victory over CB As Neves de Pontevedra (0-7), which not only strengthened the leadership but also mathematically achieved the ticket for the ‘playoff’ for the league title.
