On Sunday, May 18, the fifth and final tournament of the regular phase of the Catalan Table Football Circuit 2024-2025 was held in Mataró.

Toni Rosa receives the consolation trophy from his son

Alfred Laporta achieved his first victory in a Circuit tournament after a demanding and highly contested course. In the semifinals he narrowly beat Vicenç Prats, current number 1 in the Catalan ranking, and in the final he defeated Ferran Coll, leader of the Circuit, also in a very even duel. Laporta managed the decisive moments well and took a victory that he had narrowly missed on previous occasions.

In the consolation tournament, local player Toni Rosa gave a great performance and defeated Guillem Balaguer in a tight final, closing his regular season with very good feelings.

With this fifth event —after the tournaments held in Montornès (2), Breda, Girona and now Mataró, the regular phase of the Circuit closes and the final classification is confirmed with the 16 players who will participate in the playoffs for the title, which will be held in Breda on July 6.
