Pelota on the Web: 23rd-25th April: Manomanista Group B

After wins in Group A last weekend for Martinez de Irujo and Olaizola I, it is now the turn of Group B to take centre stage in the Manomanista Championship. Olaizola II, twice a former winner, will be the red hot favourite for his match on Saturday against Patxi Ruiz. Sunday’s game is rather harder to call as both Gonzalez and Xala have been highly impressive over the past weeks and months. Xala, winner with Zubieta of the Pairs crown on 4th April, may however have the edge. There is also a game in the 2nd Tier Manomanista Championship between Leitza and Retegi Bi.
