Barceloneta adds 21st consecutive Spanish League to its collection

The Spanish League concluded with no surprises.

Barceloneta won the championship, claiming the title for the 21st consecutive time and for the 26th time overall.

The top Spanish club suffered only one loss in domestic competitions this season. Sabadell defeated Barceloneta 15:14 in November in the 8th round of the regular season.

However, Barceloneta didn’t leave any chances for its biggest rival in the playoff final (best of three). Last week, the title-holders defeated Sabadell at home 17:13. Today, Barceloneta recorded a 16:11 victory in an away match and closed the season.

The visitors established their dominance from the early stages of the game. By the first break, Barceloneta led 5:1. Vince Vigvari extended the lead to 6:1 ih the visiting team’s first possession in the second period. Midway through the quarter, Sabadell managed to close the gap to three goals at 4:7. However, Barceloneta responded with a 3:0 run, heading into the third period with a comfortable 10:4 lead.

In the following 16 minutes, Barceloneta kept control and maintained a big difference.

Although Sabadell lost, today’s game held special significance for the home team’s players and fans. It had been known for some time that Sabadell’s head coach, Quim Collet, would retire at the end of the season. Today’s match marked his farewell after leading Sabadell for eight years.
