Moj\u00e1car\u2019s 40 years of \u201cPedruscos\u201d y \u201cChinorros\u201d Football<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One \u2018must see\u2019 event that has taken place during Moj\u00e1car\u2019s Patron Saint Fiesta for the last 40 years is the fun, but always exciting football match between the veteran “Pedruscos” and the younger “Chinorros”. It\u2019s always a game with friendly rivalry and the usual side line banter, which is debated heatedly for the rest of the year amongst the local spectators, especially the men!<\/p>\n

The match sees the return of many players who started their football journey locally, including past captains and honorary presidents sitting on the bench.
\nFounders of this initiative, Pedro “El Parral” (President of the Pedruscos) and Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda “Churrio” (President of the Chinorros), were charged with presenting, on behalf of both teams, a plaque of honour to Diego Soler “El Pichino” for his loyalty as an ever present player, despite his veteran status.<\/p>\n

Although the veterans have to be at least 40 years old, there are a pool of ready participants and, from the smallest Mojaquero sportsmen, they are vying for one team or another, pulled from the batch of promising youngsters or picked for their surprising senior talent by the “wizard” veteran captain, Antonio “Gigi”.<\/p>\n

Whatever the case, there is always plenty of lively backchat between fans, spectators and the bench, often about the veteran referee “who does not run”, according to the Captains and the prowess of the different age groups. \u00a0The controversy is, of course, all part and parcel of the game and, as Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda “Churrio” added, “in Moj\u00e1car there are two passions and they are \u2018football and drama\u201d.<\/p>\n

Despite last-minute surprises in the lineups, the rivals were fairly evenly matched, ending with a final score of 5:3 and Pedruscos as the winning team. As customary, Moj\u00e1car Council via its Sports Department provided plenty of refreshments to revive energy levels, for which both teams gave their thanks.
\nAna Garc\u00eda, Sports Councillor, along with her fellow Councillors made sure they were there also, to cheer them on and join in with this very special, emotive event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
