ANOTHER
DAY OFF - OCTOBER 12: FIESTA
NACIONAL DE ESPAÑA
Hot
on the heels of October 9th, the Valencian region's
special day, comes Spain's national holiday, October
12th 'Fiesta Nacional de España'. Not that you'd
notice much, especially in this part of the country,
aside from being another day off. There's plenty of
excitement in Madrid where Spain's military might parades
through the streets and in Zaragoza where 'Las
Fiestas del Pilar' are celebrated with a ten-day festival
of music, dancing, bull-running and a spectacular offering
of flowers. But elsewhere? Well, it's a nice day off.

Palau's second half strike forced a share of the spoils
in a crunch match against fellow early pace-setters
CF UE Tavernes de la Valldigna in front of a lively
crowd at the Campo Municipal d'Esports. The visitors
had taken an unlikely lead just before half-time through
a debatable penalty with many in the ground clearly
missing the apparent handball offence that resulted
in the spot kick. It was very much against the run of
play as the rojiblancos had launched wave after wave
