CD Montesinos enter 2020 at the top of the Valencia 2nd Regional Group 14 table and midfield Talisman Maccan believes promotion is in their own hands.
“If we keep winning the matches, we will return to the higher league,” Maccan told me, during a break at his family run business, Bar Casa Pepe in Los Montesinos.
