For her part, Frida, who since her debut has left a clear record that it is a modality come true because, although she is only 15 years old on the field, it is clear that she is not a girl, she is a pelotari with a heart that beats to million.
For their part, the blues showed courage and dedication at all times, dignifying being a pelotari, they fought at all times from time to time, highlighting that the striker Doris who unfortunately suffered from an injury that prevented her from playing on the right and serving comfortably, stayed on the court as the "amazon" that she is, showing heart, personality and integrity, setting an example of what passion for the ball is.

Urreisti and Millat took a long time to get into the game, perhaps because of their lack of confidence and their debut at the Frontón México, which is always impressive.

He recorded his confidence and he is one of those pelotaris who is perfectly focused and never loses his cool, devoting himself to his business without any gesture, but with drive at all times.
