These are the results for the side coached by Sonia Alcón, Ana Roig, Natalia Miró and Toni Jiménez.

Values such as respect, team spirit and sportsmanship took centre stage at the weekend, with 42 teams taking part, made up of more than 1000 players and coaching staff, who got together on the weekend of 12th, 13th and 14th November to enjoy the Genuine experience once more. A number of friends, families and general football fans were also there, so they didn’t miss this special date.
