League
Another month and Tenerife are still flying high. With just 3 games remaining it is looking increasingly likely that we will get some European action next season.
Considering that it was suggested that we would be lucky to avoid to relegation this season, it has been a very pleasing campaign.
Our remaining league fixtures are against Granada, Barcelona and Malaga. We also have the Copa del Rey final to look forwards to.
