The English women's handball has done a great season in European competition. The Itxako Navarra fought to the final against Norway's Larvik and so did Alicante Sea the players against the Hungarian Rail Office. Both teams have played in the continental finals of the League Champions and Cup Winners Cup, leaving the English flag high and with a great image in Europe.
For his part in the final of the Cup Winners Cup, second leg, Alicante Sea could harvest only a tie at 23 goals against the Hungarians of Rail Cargo. The disadvantage of bringing the leg in Magyar land was five goals and mission almost impossible. For the group led by Ángel Sandoval Alicante was his first final in only their second continental European and precipitation was thrown against an opponent who had more hours of flight experience and more strength. From the outset it was clear that the comeback would be very difficult but not intimidate Alicante and the Half-time came to send in the score up two goals. Again, the rainfall and the need for many to get those five goals down they were down to Alicante in despair watching the minutes passed, but playing with honor and pride achieved a creditable 23 goals to tie the match. Neither the Sea nor Alicante Itkako have won a title but since then have left the flag English women very, very, very high. Could not be. Congratulations to the players of Itxako and MAR ALICANTE for delivery!
