Player will fulfill the fourth season at the service of the CAB

The CAB Board has just announced the renewal of the Joana Lopes base contract for the 2016-2017 season. The Friends base will thus cover its fourth season in the service of the CAB, three consecutive. The continuity of Joana Lopes is the first step of the Board of Friends in the building of the female squad of the next season. Given the role of reference that the player has in the CAB team and the willingness of the player to remain connected to the CAB and Madeira, the renewal of the link between the athlete and the club is absolutely natural. At the present time, Joana Lopes is recording very positive benefits, indicating, so far, an average of 10 points, 6 points and 3 assistance. Several times, the athlete has integrated the Five Ideal of the Day and the Five Ideal Portuguese, confirming the opinion of many that it is the best Portuguese base. Thanks also to its benefits, the CAB currently ranks first in the Women's League. To the Official Site of the CAB, Francisco Gomes, president of Friends, expressed his satisfaction with the contractual renewal. "Joanna's game quality is unquestionable, as well as the important contribution she has made to the competitiveness of our female team. If that were not the case, the player did not arouse as much interest from other clubs as it has, especially in the last two years." "The continuity of Joana in the CAB gives us good guarantees for the position of first base and will allow it to be thought, in time and with other mental availability, the structuring of the squad of the next season, knowing in advance that, with Joana in the group, the female team will be well served at the level of conducting the game and leadership."
