Atlètic Terrassa hold off Campo to win Spanish men’s regular season
Atlètic Terrassa topped the men’s regular season table in Spain to land a place in Europe next season as they continued their super 2020/21 season.
Their 5-1 success against neighbours CD Terrassa kept them clear of the challenge of Club de Campo and added a trophy to back up their EHL Men’s silver medal.
Xero Gasol’s side built a 3-0 lead with Joan Tarrés getting two before half-time and Albert Beltrán getting the other. Enric Miralles replied but further strikes form Sam Cortés and Pau Cunill completed the win.
The result ensures they will play fourth placed Real Club de Polo at the Can Salas next weekend with the final on Sunday.
Polo finished the regular season seven points off top spot with a 2-1 win over Junior FC with Marc Miralles scoring his 28th goal of the season.
The other semi-final sees Club de Campo face Club Egara. The former ran up an 11-3 win over Línia 22 but it proved in vain as they ended one point behind Atlètic Terrassa in the final table.
Egara were third, six points off the pace. They beat FC Barcelona 5-1 in their final game.
In the women’s competition, the top four had already been decided with no movement in the top four possible.
As such, Club de Campo completed their season with a 21st win out of 22 league outings when Begoña Garcia’s hat trick earned them a 4-3 win over Madrid rivals SPV Complutense.
Campo face Real Club de Polo – 3-2 losers to UD Taburiente on the final day of the season.
Junior FC won 2-1 against CD Terrassa to take some form into their semi-final against Complutense.
