28.09.2009 - The new-look squad of Alejandro Martínez, with much more powerful all-round forwards this year, won both games, the first in Adeje and the other in Santa Cruz.

Socas look to be better-equipped in all sectors of the court than Tenerife Rural, whose coach Iván Deniz has yet to hit on his ideal starting line-up. Injuries to Kevin Freeman and Eric Sánchez meant Deniz could not field a full-strength side in the second game, which saw Socas earn the right to play Gran Canaria in the final of the regional cup.
