The Terrassa Minyons continue to look very good at the start of the season. This Sunday, they once again completed the 3rd of 9 with a line, as well as the 5th of 8 and the 2nd of 8 with a line. The Mauves, therefore, confirm their recovery from last year's final stretch.

May Fairs were a troubled one

Vilafranca has had a turbulent May Fair for both local groups. The Castellers de Vilafranca left their first attempt of the year at 4 out of 9 with forro, which seemed nervous throughout. The Greens recovered with a 5 out of 8, but the performance had to be halted almost an hour after the Xicots' 7 out of 7 fell. The performance was in danger of being cancelled, but in the end the Greens and Reds were able to finish with a 3 out of 8 and a 4 out of 7, respectively, in a matter of minutes.

Repertoire of eight

Força colles have continued rolling out the basic eight-piece range, although with some notable debuts, such as the 2 of 8 with lining from the Jove de Tarragona and the 6-piece pillar from the Joves de Valls.

Historic 4 of 7 from Viladecans

The Castellers de Viladecans have achieved a new milestone by unloading the first 4 of 7 in their history. Among the set groups, the first 5 of 7 and 4 of 7 with a needle of the season are also notable, from the Esperxats de l'Estany and the Castellers de Castelldefels. Cornellà has also unloaded the 5, and Sant Pere and Sant Pau have unloaded the 2 of 7.

In memory of Pau

The weekend has also been marked by the death, at the age of 45, of the casteller of the Colla Vella Pau de Magrinyà, who had formed part of the second position in the great castles of the rosés, such as the first 4 of 9 without lining unloaded by the gang in the modern era and the historic 3 of 9S_L_N_L_NA_L_NA vallencs suspended the day of the Labradores on Saturday.
