On Monday afternoon, the third edition of the Goalkeeper Battle of the San Ginés festivities kicked off on El Reducto beach. The activity, which will continue until Thursday afternoon, had already brought together about thirty young people in the first two days who are 'fighting' to become the best goalkeeper. 

In the Goalkeeper Battle, two players throw balls from one goal to another. In two halves of one minute each, the winner is the player who manages to score the most goals in the opponent's goal. It is therefore a game aimed at goalkeepers, although more and more young people are encouraged to participate in this sports discipline, standing between the goalposts and, above all, enjoying a sports afternoon on the sand of the beach. 

This third edition of the San Ginés Goalkeeper Battle kicked off on Monday afternoon with the participation of players from the Benjamin category and continued on Tuesday afternoon with the staging of the Alevín, Infantil and Cadet categories. In these first two days of competition, great saves have been seen, with more than 30 goalkeepers under the sticks.

 

Sports in El Reducto


"We are in summer, it is very important to revitalize El Reducto beach with the organization of different sporting events and that young people can have new sports leisure offers", says the Councilor for Sports of the Arrecife City Council, Jacobo Lemes. In this sense, this part of the capital's coastline will also host the Beach Handball Tournament and the fight between CL Guadarfía Arrecife Piensos del Atlántico and CL Unión Sur Yaiza in the coming days. "We have installed a large infrastructure on the beach, with stands and tents, to make the presence of all those who want to spend a different afternoon more comfortable and that will also be used in the Beach Handball Tournament and in the fight next Sunday", points out the mayor. 

On Wednesday afternoon it is the turn of the youth and senior category players, and on Thursday the finals of the Goalkeeper Battle of each of the categories will be held. The activity is organized by CD Lomo together with the Department of Sports of the Arrecife City Council.
