Will Spain win?

The eight-final was the end of Puerto Del Carmen’s Partille Cup journey. But the girls still hope they will have reasons to celebrate tomorrow. Because even though they didn’t make it to the final, the World Cup final in football is tomorrow and Spain are going to play.

The girls in Puerto Del Carmen come from the tourist island of Lanzarote and they made it all the way to the A-play off, after they came into second place in group 7 in Girls 18. They only lost one game in the group and it was their first game against Särökometerna (9-10).
Puerto Del Carmen won over KvIK Sport in the sixteen-final with 22-11 before they lost against the Brazilian team Hebraica in a tough game (11-15). The dream of Spanish success died there, but another is still possible. The world cup final is played tomorrow between Spain and Holland.
– We are going to see that game – of course. We think Spain will win, says Beatrice Betancor and doesn’t look to sad about the fact they are out of the tournament.
But they will take home a new confidence after five victories in the tournament, and a lot of fun memories.
– We have had fantastic much fun. We have really enjoyed it here, continues Beatrice Betancor.
But some visit to the Players Club during Saturday night wasn’t planed.
– No, we are too tired for that…
