Madeira GuideThe CDS-PP Madeira has officially recognized the CD Bartolomeu Perestrelo's U16 women's handball team for their national championship victory—an achievement hailed as a testament to the team's resilience and strategic groundwork.
The CDS-PP Madeira has submitted a Voto de Congratulação (Vote of Congratulations) to the Assembleia Legislativa da Madeira, celebrating the remarkable achievement of Clube Desportivo Bartolomeu Perestrelo's U16 women's handball team. The team clinched the National Championship title on June 14, 2026, in Viseu, marking a significant milestone in Madeira's sports history.
This victory, as highlighted by the CDS-PP, is not merely a stroke of luck but the culmination of structured groundwork and unwavering resilience. The commendation particularly acknowledges the outstanding performances of athletes Leonor Gomes, Júlia Cortez Ferreira, and Sofia Vieira, who were instrumental in the final victory.
The club's success is further attributed to the leadership of coach António Flórido, affectionately known as 'Tozé', who has previously guided the team to national success. The strategic partnerships with the Escola Bartolomeu Perestrelo, the Associação de Andebol da Madeira, and CD São Roque have also been pivotal, along with the unwavering support from the families of the athletes.
The CDS-PP emphasized that such victories demonstrate how the challenges of Madeira's geographical isolation can be overcome through determination and hard work, reinforcing the club's status as a powerhouse in women's handball training in Portugal. This achievement serves as an inspiring model for the youth of Madeira.
The vote will be presented in the plenary session, with official congratulations proposed for all players, coaches, and club officials. The CDS-PP's commendation reflects broader support for the sporting community in Madeira, which continues to thrive despite regional challenges.
