The summer festivities are well and truly over and the big boys will come out to play in the Cuatro y Medio championship, which started this past weekend. The final will be held on 8th December at a location still to be decided. The hard hitters that are last year’s semi finalists (defending champion Olaizola II, Martinez de Irujo, Titin III and Berasaluze VIII) do not enter the competition until the quarter final stage on 1st November but the early stages will doubtless offer some great excitement. The first round matches are listed below.
