The Minyons de Terrassa are already an extra-category team this season after completing the 2d9fm this Sunday at the main festival day. In front of a full Raval de Montserrat, the purple team has met all its planned objectives by completing the year's first 4d9f, the 2d9fm, and the 3d9f, thus achieving the first nine-level triplet of the season. The chained tower rose with very good dimensions, although at the moment of loading the chains had to work hard to control the structure's movements. The speed and precision of the children, however, were decisive in achieving a solid completion. The day concluded with a solid pd7f, certifying the great moment of the Cal Reig team, who face the second half of the season with confidence. Alongside them, the Colla Vella dels Xiquets de Valls also met expectations with the 3d9f, the 4d9f, the 4d8a, and the pd7f. On the other hand, the Castellers de Terrassa could not complete their attempt at the season's first 4de8: after a dismantled attempt, the big tower remained an attempt. They managed to turn the day around by completing the 2d7, the 7d7, and the 3d7 raised from below.

La Jove parades high-level eight-level castles and El Serrallo attempts the 3d8 without success

In Cornudella, the Colla Jove Xiquets de Tarragona unloaded the 5d8, the 4d8a, the 2d8f, and the pd6. A performance that served to showcase castles from the high range of eight before a July that is expected to be demanding for those in the lilac shirt. For their part, the Xiquets del Serrallo had to work harder than expected: they dismantled a first attempt at 5d7 because the measurements did not quite add up at the level of the 'dosos' and, later, they also had to bring down the 3d8 after a strong movement before the 'dosos' had reached their position. Despite these setbacks, those from the maritime neighborhood recovered to unload the 5d7, the 2d7, and the 4d7. The celebration was completed by the Brivalls de Cornudella with the 3d6, the 2d6, and the 4d6.

Sants unloads the 2d8f in El Vendrell

In Vendrell, the Castellers de Sants were the protagonists of the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Nens' venue, and they completed a new performance of three eight-story towers with the 3d8, the 2d8f, and the 4d8. The Nens del Vendrell met their planned objectives by downloading the 4d8, the 3d7, and the 5d7, while the Castellers de Lleida lowered their initial aspirations and completed a seven-story performance with the 3d7, the 4d7a, and the 4d7.

Gràcia recovers the 4d8a twelve years later

At the Camp d'en Grassot, the Castellers de la Vila de Gràcia achieved the day's main objective by recovering, twelve years later, the 4d8a they had loaded. Before that, they had competently completed the 2d8f and the 3d8, in a performance that reinforces the Gràcia team's aspirations for upcoming events. The Castellers de Castelldefels, for their part, followed the planned script with a complete seven-level performance consisting of the 3d7a, the 4d7, and the 3d7.
