“I have felt good and I have finished without hand problems,” Jokin Altuna reassured the parish after winning a new victory yesterday in Legazpi, this time in a company game, outside of official competitions. That does not mean that the Amezketarra avoided the job. On the contrary. He got involved like the others to prevail 22-19 with Rezusta over Artola and Mariezkurrena II in a real star, serious and with alternatives.
“A good and tough game came out,” added Altuna III. “There was a ball to play. Beñat has completed a great job. It’s not easy putting up with these two.” They attacked him hard and the left-handed man from Bergara responded. In the first part, he took the first name Jon Mariezkurrena at times. He compensated for the subsequent difficulties based on defensive resources, security and physical background.

the two runners started working in the first game, but gave up for the star due to the lack of bettors. They boasted a 100 to 80 favorable to Altuna III and Rezusta (60 to 100 below).Opening act:
Ugartemendia hit a rebound in the 22-20 loss with Alberdi against Víctor and Erostarbe. There were 19 equals. Alkiza’s defender is guilty of playing too upright. He had a hard time getting to the ball bounce. But he has right.Incidences:
nice entrance in the Urbeltz pediment of Legazpi to attend the traditional festival of Santikutz day. 420 spectators.
Jokin Altuna once again gave reason to believe that his inventiveness is inexhaustible. At least in one play. Located in the center of the field, his position to hit the air ball with his left foot offered two possibilities for ordinary mortals, the hook or the save to the txoko. Actually there were three. Two walls to the general surprise, including that of the two rivals. Stuck, they followed the journey of the ball with their eyes while the 8-5 went up to the electronic and the public left an ‘oh’ of admiration.
Of course, the winners of the last edition of the San Fermín Tournament did not give up. They both charged the game back and Artola decisively entered the shot. He defended Altuna III with anticipation, technique and skill. He too counterattacked at the slightest opportunity. His contribution was once again decisive.
A couple of mistakes by Artola at the last minute also came in handy for the Amezketarra, especially the attempt to stop a volley with his left foot that he failed to put on top of the plate. Now, it becomes clear again that the man from Alegia retains enough wickers to compete at the highest level. If he would dribble injuries and gain in confidence…
The man from Amezketa leaves the last strong confrontation for next week, which will be with Elordi at Bizkaia in Bilbao
The Urbeltz public thanked the protagonists for their involvement, interest and play with applause whose intensity and duration bordered on at least an ovation.
Altuna III concentrates from now on in its semifinal of the Manomanista, which already has a definitive date and venue. He will play it on Saturday the 20th at the Labrit in Pamplona against the winner of the Ezkurdia-Peio Etxeberria the day after tomorrow. He reports on the plan: “Since this couples match has been tough, I won’t schedule any intense fronton training this week. I will do hands on Saturday or Sunday. Next week I have planned a session with Elordi, probably at the Bizkaia in Bilbao. And I will play the following Saturday against Elezkano II in the game of the last round of the league. It is good for me that it is in the Labrit because they have put the semifinal there ».
