Much promise from Barça Borges youth
Barcelona’s youth handball teams showed their promise this season. The B team did well in its first year in the national second division and the Infantil team won the double.
All five youth teams have reason to feel proud of themselves. There have been a few
disappointments, but we can generally feel optimistic about the future of the section.
National Second Division
The B team was in the national division two after being promoted last season. Toni
Gerona’s side did well to finish sixth, ahead of some highly experienced teams. They
dominated the early part of the season and led at the half way stage.
Juvenil
The Juvenil side had an up and down year. Coached by Àlex Barbeito they cam
E third in the Catalan Championship. In the national sectors, they showed some improvement
but ended second in the final stage after tying on points with Elche, who won the title on goal
difference.
Cadets
Cadet A were excellent under the great Andrei Xepkin as they retained the Minicopa and also
the Catalan Championship. They missed out on the Spanish title to Granollers, who they had beaten
in every other competition. The Cadet B team did well against teams that were a year older than
them, for under Jordi Giralt they managed to finish third in Catalonia and reached the final sector
of the Spanish Championship.
Infantil
The Infantil did the best of all out of the youth teams. Coached by Antoni Juanpera they won
both the Catalan and Spanish championships, and were quite simply far superior to any of the other
teams in their age category.
