Magec Tías "Against Gender Violence" visited CB Arxil, with casualties but without complexes, a team that they had already managed to beat in the first round and that, if the Lanzarote team achieved victory, would allow them to climb positions in the standings and live another week in the quiet zone, since next weekend, the Lanzarote team is forced to rest due to the odd number of teams competing after the withdrawal of RACA Granada.
The clash between Galicians and Canarians was very even, without the islanders showing the absences they had this week in the squad and the little rotation that the Tenerife coach, Jesús García, had.
The first and second quarters made it very clear that the locals should work hard to defeat the visitors, reaching halftime with a score of 40 to 34. The capacity for work and sacrifice is something that, again, was beyond doubt on the part of the Magec Tías "Against Gender Violence" squad, from the first of its players to the last person who is dedicated to the team.
In the third quarter equality continued to prevail, but the red and blacks managed, as a moral reward for what they were doing, to reduce the difference and reach the last quarter with options.
Unfortunately, not everything is wanting and the physical aspect ended up taking its toll on the eight visiting guerrillas who were leaving everything they had inside on the court, to cling to a victory that, in the last ten minutes, was beginning to settle in the local box.
Finally, the result was 75 to 60, CB Arxil won, which is third in the Women's League 2 with eight wins and six losses, while Magec Tías "Against Gender Violence" remains ninth, with six games won and eight games lost.
Despite the result, Jesús García was proud of his players. "The difference on the scoreboard does not show the physical effort the team made, but I leave with very good feelings despite the result." And it is that, whoever gives everything they have, is not obliged to give more.
Next week the island team will be free and will be able to rest a little more to prepare the next match thoroughly.
