A basketball match in Vell Congost

It' should be in sports tips, but I thing that is more than a sport tradition, it's a way of life of a lot of Manres citizens, including me.

It's the number one sport of the city, alot of kids plays at this game every week, there are several teams in the city which has a great level.

Bar

Go to La Salle Manresa pavillion and look at the end of the building, and you'll see and image similar than this.
We are always here watching any team who is playing there.
There is a small detail I haven't said, it's next to the bar, and what does it sells???
BEERS!!!
So you know what you'll find if you go to see a La Salle Manresa team, and of course you are invited.

La Salle Manresa match

This is the club which I pertain.
I'm in this club since 1995. Buit I retired from playing basketball at the same year.
After that I began to help the trainers and the coaches in their practices and matches. So I'm still working with kids since then and that's a thing that I like and I think I'm going to do a lot of more years.

Ricoh Manresa

This is the first team of Manresa.
It plays in the Spanish first division, ACB, against teams as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Tau Cerámica.... all the best teams of the country.
We are a poor team and we can't have the best players, but we are very proud of the team we have.
We won the spanish league in 1998, and the Spanish cup in 1996.
We use to be a very calm population, but when people enters at the pavillion everbody changes their face and begin to support the team.
FORÇA RESA!!!!!!!!
