Third time proved lucky for Fundación Agustinos as they return to the Silver Honor Division after a hard-fought 26-23 victory over Bolaños in the final promotion clash, held in the cathedral arena. The stands were packed with supporters and staff, all buzzing with anticipation as the team pressed through a tense start. The opening minutes featured a flurry of borrowed goals from the opponent, setting a brisk, anxious tempo. As the match progressed, the Alicante club settled into its rhythm, showcasing the flow and precision that have become their signature. After halftime, the pace intensified, the lead swung, and the final moments became a showcase of grit and teamwork, punctuated by the cheers of a crowd that had traveled and waited for this moment for two seasons.
When the whistle blew, a wave of relief and pride washed over the team and the supporters. Pressure had been building during two near-misses on the cusp of promotion, and the squad embraced the moment with a mix of joy and determination. Fans lined the track, celebrating long past the final whistle as members of the academy joined in to keep the party alive. In the stands and on the court, the celebration stretched on, a vivid display of emotion and unity. The president of the Agustinos Foundation, Israel González, struggled to keep tears at bay as he spoke about the long journey. He expressed gratitude to the players, coaches, and the entire club for nurturing the atmosphere that brought this achievement to fruition. The club signaled the start of a new chapter, quietly outlining plans for a fresh project in the Silver division.
Thus, in the coming season, Alicante will boast two teams in Silver because Eón Horneo managed to secure promotion yesterday, while Zamora faltered after a draw in Antequera. The growth of handball in Alicante appears unstoppable as new talent, renewed infrastructure, and a growing fanbase push the sport into a brighter spotlight.
