Imanol Ansa and Aritz Zubiri beat Beñat Segurola and Iban Larrañaga in three games (15-12, 14-15 and 8-6) , on the fifth and final day of the league of the Remontari-Sagardoaren Txapelketa. The match was very rugged, contested and balanced in the Galarreta fronton.
Segurola and Larrañaga have given a great start to the match. Petritegi's couple have imposed their strategy. They have avoided Ansa perfectly, and Aizarnazabal's forward has steadily advanced, dominating the many, so that Segurola and Larrañaga have gone ahead to the first break (3-8).
On the way back to the court, things didn't change at all and they got 4-11. It looked like they had the game in their pocket, but then the Urnieta striker woke up. Besides, the ball change has damaged the Petritegi for the sake of the representatives of the Bereziartua sidreria.
The Bereziartua couple started sending in the second gameand in a second game they put the 3-0 on the scoreboard. But the Guipuzcoan couple did not give up and responded. The first draw of the game was for the signal, and Segurola and Larrañaga also went ahead to the second break (6-8).
The second draw of the game has been eight, followed by the Urnietarra forward and the Navarro zaguero, but the score has always been tight until the end of the game. The third draw has been 13 and the fourth has been 14. Segurola and Larrañaga have only played a bit to stay alive in the championship and have been favorable (14-15), thus also forcing the third game.
Inthe third decisive game, Ansa and Zubiri have gone ahead to rest (4-2), for the first time in the game, largely because the Navarro defense has been terribly right with its outlet. However, as in other stages of the encounter, the Guipuzcoans have not given up and have squeezed their rivals. In the final decisive game there have been four ties, witnesses to the competition.
In the second match, Kemen Aldabe and Endika Barrenetxea beat Ander Goikoetxea and Aritz Juanenea in two games (6-15 and 13-15) . In the first game the winning couple was completely superior and in the second the competition was greater. Goikoetxea and Juanenea needed 15 in the whole game to stay alive in the championship and send Segurola and Larrañaga home.
In the first game, Endika Barrenetxea has given the umpteenth exhibition with the outlet. With very few balls, the Oialume Zar lifts have taken 0-7 lead thanks to the Hernaniarra defense. To the first break of the match they have gone 1-8 ahead with Goikoetxea and Juanenea unbeaten.
The second game has been different, much more equal than the first. At first, from the first neck, the couple of Oialume Zar have put themselves ahead 0-3, thanks to Barrenetxea's pull. The ball has been broken, and 2-3 has been the best and most combative of the game. Juanenea has seen the opportunity and got more into the game.
With 9-8 the Alorrenea couple picked up the 15th of the match and left Segurola and Larrañaga out of the competition. Hernani's zaguero threw two long out and was 11-9 on the scoreboard. Then Barrenetxea straightened again and scored two more to put the 11-14. Goikoetxea and Juanenea pressed the marker again (13-14), but failed to go back.
Thus, Ansa-Zubiri and Goikoetxea-Juanenea will face each other inthe playoff, in a match that will give the winning couple the ticket for a single semifinal.
