The CH Amposta men's team successfully kicked off their title play-off, securing a significant 42-32 victory against Club Handbol Sant Andreu, a result that brings them closer to promotion to the Second Catalan Division.

The match, held at Amposta's Tecnificació pavilion with a large crowd, began with an exchange of goals. The Amposta defense struggled to contain the fast attacks from Sant Andreu, who even managed to hold a two-goal lead. The home team, for their part, suffered turnovers and missed shots, reaching halftime with a 17-17 tie.
In the second half, CH Amposta emerged with renewed vigor, displaying great effectiveness in attack and a more solid defense. This improvement allowed them to gain a four-goal advantage and, subsequently, break away with a maximum difference of 14 points. Play through the wings, with a standout performance from Ferran, was key to consolidating this superiority. Despite the opponent's fatigue, Amposta missed some clear shots that could have further extended their lead.
The next fixture for the men's team will be on Sunday at 12:00, when they visit Sant Andreu's court for the return leg of the quarter-finals. The club has organized a free bus for fans who wish to travel and support the team in their pursuit of promotion.
Furthermore, the CH Amposta women's team also achieved a crucial away victory against Handbol Sant Vicenç with a score of 25-26. This triumph, their third consecutive, virtually secures their permanence for another season in the Lliga Catalana Or. After a low-scoring first half, the Amposta women overcame a four-goal deficit in the final ten minutes, thanks to a strategic timeout called by coach Felipe Uliaque.
The women's next match will be next Saturday at 19:00 at Amposta's Tecnificació pavilion, where they will host Handbol Sant Joan Despí “B”.
