II. Bilbao Racquetball Tournament (Individual)

On the 7th of December, the Basque Federation of Beach Tennis and Minority Sports, Racquetball Section, organised the I Bilbao Tournament of Racquetball (Individual). During the year we will hold two tournaments; the Basque Championship (singles and doubles) and the Bilbao Tournament (one year singles and another doubles).

Once again we met at the San Ignacio Municipal Sports Centre in Bilbao. We will continue to try to find or build one. We played three rounds: quarter finals, semi finals, 3rd and 4th place play-offs and the final.

There were very intense matches, like the one between Alain and Andoni, which was decided in a third match; the semi-final between Egoitz and Alain; and the final itself. Everyone sweated a lot, like Egoitz, who had to fight hard to win and became the first champion of the Bilbao tournament.

If all goes well in April, we will compete in the II. Basque Country Racquetball Championship (couples) and in August next year the singles of the same championship.
