The Second Year White Benjamín is champion of the Eastern Region of Madrid after their most recent match on May 12th at the Sonia Abejón Pavilion against Colmenar Viejo (38-15).

It is possible.

And to close this edition, a disappointment result of the National Senior in the VIPS League, which started very well in its Quarterfinal match against C.B Tres Cantos winning, and then could not continue with the final push losing in "straight sets" on May 11th ( 87-62) in the La Luz Pavilion. And then, the mission could not be completed in the third and final game (52-74), falling at the Javi Limones last weekend, saying goodbye to the Final Four FBM with our audience always supporting us. It has been a great year, despite not achieving this goal, and those from Colo Zuttion deserve praise. VIPS League leaders in the regular season, with a steamroller record, and with great sensations that predict that next season this will be improved. We march on.
