Double Delight for Mare Nostrum Torrevieja

Mare Nostrum Torrevieja experienced a double delight on the 4th of October as both their senior men's and women's teams secured victories. The men's team triumphed over Algemesí HC 27-21 in a tough National Division One Group E match, while the women's team overcame Torrellano HC Torrebanda 28-22 at home. Mare Nostrum's men's side, faced with a challenging opponent without any points, displayed disciplined defending, particularly by goalkeeper Alfredo Cabezas, referred to as "Chiqui".

An early 9-1 run by Algemesí saw them lead 17-8 at halftime, but Mare Nostrum responded strongly in the second half, narrowing the gap to four goals with four minutes left. The men's team solidified their defensive stance and emerged victorious, thereby securing their second win in three matches and accumulating four points from the possible six.

The women's team made a spectacular start to their regional First Division campaign, leading 5-0 in the opening five minutes, before Torrellano staged a spirited comeback. Mare Nostrum's robust defense and swift attacking maneuvers reasserted their lead, and they secured a 28-22 win, thereby earning their first two points of the season.

The men's team are set to host Jeovent Balonmano Leganés at the Cecilio Gallego Pavilion on October 10th at 6:30 PM, aiming to capitalize on their promising opening results. The women's team has no scheduled matches this weekend.
