Cadete Primer Año played its first game against Ábaco 2010 (57-75) with a negative balance. We will try to reverse the negative start, when on October 19th at a time yet to be defined, we play at the Javi Limones against Brains Arturo Soria.

There will be a visiting trip on October 20th, when we will go to ESC La Liga NBA to play against Pablo Laso A, at 10:00 a.m.

The U-22 Bronze team has begun its defense of the 2023-2024 league title at the Nuria Fernández against Baloncesto San Fernando (70-79) with a setback. We return to action on October 20th, when we will play against Basket Aranjuez at a time yet to be defined and away from home.

Making its debut in the Second Autonomous League, our Torrejón Spartans alliance has had a great game (68-66), winning in the last few minutes in the debut against Patrocinio San José, at home. We will try to extend this good start on October 13th, when at 8:00 p.m. we play against Basket Futuro in the Valdefuentes School pavilion.

And to finish #LaCrónica, the Senior National TBS has returned to winning ways in Alcalá de Henares (81-95) against Juventud Alcalá on October 5th, with great games from Rubén Escanciano, as well as the dynamic contribution of Javier Sánchez and Alonso Puiggros injecting young blood into the squad. A very disputed game in its first half, with parity and changes of leadership, which we were able to recompose with a solid second half and a good last quarter. The highlights are on the YouTube channel. Next rival? Fundal Alcobendas, at 7:30 pm this October 13th at Javi Limones.
