CAB and Vagos honor former player

Saturday's game between the CAB and the Vagos (15h00, CAB Pavilion) is of very special significance. In addition to the sporting performance that is anticipated, or were not CAB and Vagos two competitive formations and with ambitions in this edition of the Women's League, the two teams will also put the sports competitiveness aside, giving their hands to celebrate a 'star' that left too early. According to information provided by the Madeiran club's Board, in the interval of the game, representatives of the two teams will present the family of the deceased Odília Rodrigues in a Vagos jersey, a club to which Odília had associated in the last years of life. The delivery of the sweater is intended to be a small symbol of a passion that Odília has always nurtured throughout her short life, which is the sport of basketball. The visit to Madeira do Vagos, on the occasion of the game with the CAB, creates the opportunity for the homage to Odília, which is something the two clubs had been planning to do for some time. This joint idea will be materialized in the interval of Saturday's departure. In statements to the Official CAB Website, Francisco Gomes, chairman of the Board, commented on the initiative, noting: "The CAB and the Vagos are aware that, regardless of the competition, there are values and ideals that speak louder, and the little tribute we are going to pay to Odília is proof that, in addition to the competition, people are." "Odília left too soon, but in a way she remains with us. Her energy, her smile, her laughter that left no one indifferent and other memories that she left with those who had the privilege of living with her are a small heritage that is kept in their hearts and that will keep Odília with us for many, many years", concluded the CAB leader.
