Your coach and managerJosé Carlos Álvarez Troncoso, Portoexplains that “they are going through a difficult period because lack of help and some important sponsor”, which at this moment makes the possibility of not going to the competition very feasible. “It’s very likely that we can’t,” he laments.

At that time, they were aware that by establishing this team they were creating “a a very risky bet“, but despite that, “the season was a success», managing to maintain the category. That’s why he adds that “it’s a shame, after all the work he did last year and the influence the club had,” that he can’t continue this next season.

Portu explains that they failed to collect no council support and attributes the fact that they were able to save the season “to the help of small entrepreneurs and companies from Pontareas”, since there are many who wanted to give their grain of sand “with small sponsorships”.
