Spain have won the 18th edition of the Mediterranean Handball Confederation’s (MHC) Women’s Championship which took place in Podgorica, Montenegro.
National teams appeared in the competition for U17 players, played under the traditional rules of the MHC which aim to promote development of handball amongst the younger age categories in its region.
After topping their preliminary group, thanks to wins against Greece, Cyprus, Serbia and Slovenia, plus a loss to Romania, Spain qualified for the final where they faced host nation Montenegro, who were unbeaten in their preliminary campaign, winning four and drawing one.
Romania won bronze in a back-and-forth match battle against Slovakia. Romania lost the first period (5:7), but stormed back in the second to win by six (12:6). This proved to be enough overall as Slovakia fell just one goal short in the third, winning 6:3, but losing 19:20 overall.
