The Barça roller hockey side went down to defeat in Sant Sadurní against Noia Freixenet in their OK League encounter. The blaugranes were 3-0 down at one point but came back into the contest to give themselves a chance in the match but were unable to avoid a fourth defeat of the league season. 

The home side started brightly and in the blink of an eye Barça found themselves 2-0 down. Toni Salvadó then Aleix Esteller found the net for Noia to get them off to a dream start against the blaugranes. 

Two goals down at half time, things did not improve in the second half for Ricard Ares' team. David Gelmà made it 3-0 for Noia on 27 minutes but a minute later Ferran Font pulled one back for  the blaugranes to give them hope. However, hopes were dashed when Xavi Aragonés made it 4-1 to the home side and Ortigosa had a goal disallowed for Barça. Ferran Font did get another back for the blaugranes but the home team held on for an important win in the league. Barça are now next in action in the Champions League on 26 February when they face SCRA St.Omer in France.
