Barandika-Basque and Elaia-Arai will be in the grand final of the Final Four

Barandika and Basque won the first semi-final of the Jai Alai League Final Four by beating Johan and Manci in two games (15-11 and 15-7) in a match played at the Carmelo Balda fronton in San Sebastian.

The first game has gone very tight to rest (8-6), then Barandika and Basque have opened a hole in the scoreboard (10-6), and have kept the difference to the end. Both couples have tried to play serious and have sought to cause a mistake by their rivals rather than score. The second half of the game has been more spectacular than the first half and the small details have decided the contest.

The second game was very similar to the first. It was very similar until the break, but from then on the match broke again. In the second, moreover, the Biscayans and the Labourers gained a greater advantage, especially from Johan's blunders. They both had a clear strategy, they loaded the game back to blow up Manci, and they did it to a large extent.

Likewise, Elaia Gogenola and Arai Lejardi have won their first win in the Jai Alai League Final Four by beating Lur Lejardi and Oaia Otaño in two games (15-7 and 15-11) , thus imposing themselves on Arai Lur in the deman between the Lejardi sisters.

In the end the first game was easily won by the favorites, Elaia and Arai, although Lur and Oia gave a good start to the match, as the Markinian forward and the Mutrikuarra defense were ahead by 0-3 and 1-4. But that's where their streak has run out and the Biscayan duo has gone back to the break to win by 8-5.

In the second game Lur and Oaia made things more difficult for Elaia and Arai, but it was not enough. Markinarra and Mutrikuarra were always behind on the scoreboard, although their rivals were tighter.
