TORNEO NAVIDAD: DIFFERENT RESULTS
FOR THE PORTUGUESE YOUTH TEAMS
 

Youth National Teams are in Guadalajara, where the 9th edition of the Guadalajara International Tournament is to be held, which is the last test before the qualification pools for the 2013 European Championships. [Schedule]

The girls had a good début in this year’s edition, beating Spain B (3-2: 25-23, 25-27, 16-25, 25-22 e 15-13) in the first day of the competition. However Gilda Harris’ girls couldn’t overcome Spain A today, having lost the match in straight sets (0-3 :12-25, 22-25 e 15-25).

The boys were motivated to forget the first day’s loss to Spain (0-3: 22-25, 22-25 e 13-25), but they failed to do so by losing in the tie-break against Greece (2-3: 25-27, 25-20, 15-25, 25-17 e 12-15).

Youth National Teams will play again during today, the boys will face Tunisia and the girls will take on the Spanish team Feel Volley Alcobendas. Both matches are set to start at 17h00 GMT.

The Torneo Navidad matches are to be held at Polideportivo San José, while the teams will be staying at Pax Hotel [tel: +34 949 248 060] and Prince Filipe Residential [tel: +34 949 887 574], at Guadalajara.
