The years go by and Queralt Casas maintains her passion intact. After seven seasons at Valencia Basket, the Bescanó player will strengthen the Spar Girona project, where she arrives eager to prove herself. “I have very good feelings and I am very happy to be able to return home. I am convinced that we will enjoy this season a lot and that we will experience many magical moments at Fontajau,” admits the shooting guard, who will reunite with Roberto Íñiguez, with whom she already coincided at Sopron.Casas, who is training these days at ExtraTime in Fornells de la Selva, has now fully recovered from the fracture of the ulna and radius she had in her left arm. “Injuries are the toughest part of sports, nobody wants to go through them, but once you have them and accept them, you have to work to return as soon as possible. The truth is that I recovered very well, I have good feelings and I have already forgotten about it,” she acknowledges.

Hard blow. Asisa Joventut lost on AEK Athens' court (72-67). The green-and-black team couldn't manage an eight-point lead and was eliminated from the Basketball Champions League. Two final referee decisions, a mistaken throw-in and an uncalled foul, harmed the Catalan team, which was left unable to compete in the final four in Badalona.

Twenty years after its founding, Uni Girona is stronger than ever. The club, born from the unlikely union of the women's teams of Santa Eugenia and Vedruna, is experiencing one of its most exciting periods. "The essence can be summed up in two things. The first is generosity, because back then, two entities that couldn't stand each other reached an agreement to work together. There are many people behind these twenty years. Directors and sponsors who have taken action because they believed in the project. And the institutions, of course. We fought. And we had to fight." Pere Puig, sporting director and one of the key figures in the founding of Uni Girona, summarizes the virtues of the club, which debuted in the Copa Catalunya in the 2005-06 season.
