Basque bare hand

Laso and Albisu were winning 5-4, when the tenth both of the match was in play, when Javi Zabala made a good run, but Jon Ander Albisu picked it up brilliantly and the four pelotaris played a spectacular amount, and in the end the blues took it.

On the 1st of January, Astelena, there was a rarity: before the match between Laso-Albisu and Zabala-Martija began, the badge that was to determine which couple was going to make the first outlet stood and had to be thrown out again.
