There was no Preferente division football last weekend, but Thader made good use of a hastily arranged friendly against Regional Division 1 side Catral last Thursday evening.

Catral are currently leading the division, 5 points clear of San Fulgencio, so this was always going to be a testing work out at Moi Gomez stadium.

Thader took an early lead through Quino, before the visitors equalised through a penalty.  Goals from Guille (his opener for the first team), and Berni, then gave the hosts a 3-1 lead at the half time stage.

Although Catral reduced the deficit in the 2nd half, manager Raul Mora can be pleased with his teams showing in the 3-2 victory.

On Wednesday 9 February, ko 8.30pm, Thader will try again to play their postponed league match against Novelda CF at Moi Gomez stadium.  Then next weekend (12/13 February), a short trip along the N332 awaits the men from Rojales, when they will visit Santa Pola CF, for another important league match.
