Hegoalde (South Basque) Amateur Results Archive-through August 21, 2019

This page will archive the selected amateur results of Tournaments and matches in various modalities that take place in Hegoalde (South Basque. Like the other amateur results in this blog, the key to selection will be the availability of match videos. For those who wish to follow Amateur results in a more comprehensive fashion, the best two places to begin that I have found are Manista.com, Carlos Zuluaga's superb BP blog, and for Mano specifically, the Pelota Afficianada page at 21Iguales.com. When possible, individual results will be linked to a competition context.
