October 18, 2020

Felipe Perrone (Barceloneta)

On Friday afternoon, it seemed that the all six matches of the Spanish League Day 1 would be played on Saturday. But, on Friday evening, the Spanish media reported that two games were postponed because of one coronavirus case. One player of Barcelona was tested positive. The Spanish Federation decided to postpone matches Catalunya-Barcelona and Sabadell – Tenerife, because the player who tested positive played against Sabadell in the Spanish Super Cup final last week.

On Saturday, the Federation postponed the game Navara – Mataro, since coronavirus appeared in the team of Mataro

Six teams started the league this season. Titleholder Barceloneta kicked off the season in style, with a big away win over Sant Andreu – 14:7. That was the only match of Group B.

In Group A, Terrassa showed no mercy o newcomer Sant Feliu (23:6), while Real Canoe and Mediterrani shared the points (9:9).
