Chronicle 08/01/2011: Aritz Erkiaga graduated yesterday among the stars, given that, despite is only 24, yesterday completed a great job with an always impregnable Imanol Lopez, so together won by 21-35 against Goikoetxea-Hernández in the final of the Parejas Championship of cesta punta, played in the University fronton of Markina.
The pelotari from Ispaster has been shining last years, but his progression is still very good, and, in addition to signing a couple of spectacular cortadas, he showed a perfect rebote and did not commit errors, despite facing a phenomenon such as the eight-time single champion Iñaki Goikoetxea.
Behind, meanwhile, Imanol demonstrated once again that he is a wall, so it is virtually impossible to see him making mistakes and, at the same time, he showed a incredible reves that did much damage to his opponents. Hernández, for his part, did what they could, but was dominated and was a very hard job, because his opponents did not allow Iñaki to do his game, so he had to take risk and did not do tantos.
So, after a first dozen very balanced and with many ties, came the takeoff of the blue, because after a 0-7 that led them to 11-18, another partial went direct from 14-18 to 14-27 and leave the clash settled.
From this moment to the end, the situation did not change and the vizcaíno and the guipuzcoano continued on their until the 35, allowing in addition to López repeat title, because in October he already won the Parejas, in this case with Mikel Egiguren.
In the first game played yesterday afternoon at the University of Markina, Egiguren II-Osa beat Treku-Enbil by a score of 30-20. The winners dominated in almost every moment.
