Consistency and youthfulness to lead a League

With already five consecutive victories for Athletic Club’s women’s team. Iraia Iturregi and her team add up and continue at the Reto Iberdrola Norte, occupying one more day at the leading position in the table. With a squad that barely surpasses the legal age the age (18.1 years old on average) the manager from Loiu is making the young player achieve their highest level in a competition in which the average age is 21.7 years, being the Athletic Club squad the second youngest in the silver category, only behind the Atletico de Madrid (17.8).

The red-and-white coach admits that “at first I did see as an anecdote the fact of being leaders because I did not expect the team, being a subsidiary, being so regular at the challenge. I’m happy, not only for the results, but for the vibe that the group is giving. There are players who are taking a step forward. One of them is Amaiur Sarriegi. The striker from San Sebastian, who debuted with the first team last October against Real Betis, is the “pichichi” of Primera Iberdrola Norte, with 10 goals. Amaiur has managed to score in the last four days, including two doubles and a hatrick.

The last victory in Mareo against Sporting de Gijón last Sunday has allowed the team to reach 30 points with an enviable balance of 9 wins, 3 draws and 1 single defeat. This coming Sunday, Lezama will host the two team duels in First and Iberdrola Challenge. The branch will receive  SD Eibar in the field 8 of Lezama from 13.00 hours, just when the clash of the first team against Sevilla FC ends, scheduled for 11.00 hours at field 2.
