In the streets of Pamplona you can see the smell of the final. Today it is decided where the Manomanist txapela will go: to Alegia or to Ezkarai.
Unai Amiano, Manomanist Series B champion, has been with EITB a few days after winning the txapela. He recognizes that his victory in promoting the ball in his hometown of Irun may be very important. He also believes that he is far from the level to win in First Division tournaments and more considering that he has played very rarely individually in amateurs.

Artola has given a huge start to the match, putting 16-2 ahead; and although Laso has approached 17-10, he has held the victory firmly.
Ander Murua and X will play the final of the Manomanist Series B. In the first semi-final, Murua was imposed 12-22 on Alberdi II, while in the second, Amiano had to play hard to beat Rekalde 22-17.
In the opinion of the Alavés pelotari, the Riojano is a favorite to wear the txapela, but Dario points out that this will have to be demonstrated on the court. Whoever wins will play the Manomanist final for the first time.
The two pelotaris have been satisfied with the material found. The Navarro striker has had two weeks to prepare for Saturday's crash, the Guipuzcoan only five days, but he will arrive very motivated after the match he played on Sunday.
Iñaki Artola has won the final ticket for the semi-finals of the Manomanista after winning 22-16 to Javi Zabala. After 12 years, Alegia lived on Sunday a day he will always remember as he lives.
