Tournament review

In the preliminary phase (la fasa previa) the following happened. Incumbent champions Schweppes qualified yet not without problems. In group B, the most challenging race for final, CA Gijón took sensational win, fraction ahead of last year's finalists, Barcelona and Gambito Valencia. Español went ahead of C.I.D.A. Las Palmas in group C while Ateneo Maritimo took surprise win in group D ahead of favourites Unión Granciense. There was little fight in the final group, where Schweppes won easily and Español came in second. Gijón win bronze and scored their all-time best.
