The Juan de la Cierva pavilion in Getafe hosted the 13th Getafe City Basketball Tournament last weekend, featuring four attractive matches for the numerous spectators.

The tournament kicked off with a men's match between Baloncesto Getafe and CB Tres Cantos, part of the second round of the Copa España. The home team, playing in Segunda FEB, won 102-93 after an even start. For Getafe, notable scorers included Pablo Rodrigo (18 points), Pablo González Longarela (16), Gloire Goma (15), and Vicent Negre (14).
The main event was the derby between Movistar Estudiantes and Partizan de Fuenlabrada, a clash in Primera FEB. The game, which saw the pavilion completely full, ended with a victory for Estudiantes 100-90. Despite a strong start from Fuenla, Estu rallied with successful three-pointers from Omar Silverio and drives by Millán Jiménez. The elimination of Iván Cruz due to two technical fouls in the third quarter hampered Fuenlabrada's chances.
On Sunday morning, the wheelchair basketball team Getafe BSR Rehatrans hosted the newly promoted ADIV Valencia. The home team dominated from start to finish, securing a decisive 80-26 victory. Getafe BSR used the match to give playing time to its female players and younger squad members, in preparation for the season starting on October 17th.
To conclude the event, Innova-tsn Leganés faced Movistar Estudiantes in a Liga Femenina Endesa match, part of the FBM Memorial Juan Martín Caño Tournament. The Leganés players secured a 67-47 win, dominating all four quarters. The interior play, with strong performances from Aminata Sangaré (13 points and 9 rebounds) and Rita Igbokwe (15 points and 8 rebounds), was crucial for Leganés' victory.
