Barceloneta, Sabadell claim Copa Catalunya

Spanish and European champions Barceloneta and Sabadell have claimed the Copa Catalunya on Sunday both retaining their title in a good test preparing for the upcoming season. Barceloneta's men had all trouble with Sant Andreu and actually needed quite a comeback in the second half to pull off the victory. Sant Andreu proved superior in the first two periods and led 5-2 at half time. From there on Barceloneta took control but still wasn't sure of avoiding an upset until the final seconds as Marc Minguell levelled the sides at 6-6 with just 11 seconds remaining. In the following penalty shootout Barceloneta won 3-4 to come away with the 9-10 overal victory. Sabadell got to the win more convincingly as the Sant Andreu women trailed throughout their match-up with the Euro League winners. A 0-5 run in the third period marked the match that finished with a solid 6-13 final score in favour of the favorites where Maica Garcia, Matilde Ortiz and Anni Espar led the way scoring three goals each.
