La Vila have promotion in their sights
The sign of a great team, be it soccer or rugby, is to win even when you’re having a bad day at the office. La Vila, playing away to Burgos in the fist leg of the promotion final, turned in what was for them a lack lustre performance yet they were still able to win 1620. This gives them a 4 point advantage for their home tie on May 28th. at their VilaJoyosa Stadium kick off 12.00. In a match where they were second best in three key elements of the game lineouts, scrums and turnovers, their defence and passing was outstanding. The first half was fast and furious with the home side first to score with a converted penalty 3-0.
Matas Jara countered with a converted a penalty 3-3. Burgos then scored a try 8-3. A converted La Vila try made it 8-10 however another unconverted Burgos try sent the home side in 13-10 at half time which was a fair indication of the game. The second half scoring began with a converted La Vila try, 13-20, and it looked as if La Vila were on a roll. The Burgos lads had other ideas and put tremendous pressure on La Vila which resulted in a converted penalty 16-20. The magnificent La Vila defence thwarted the continual Burgos pressure until the final whistle of a second half that had 5 minutes of added
time. The Burgos squad will play the final leg knowing that they gave a very creditable performance against a side that has now won 27 from 27 this season. La Vila at home will be a different proposition and whatever the outcome the loser will still have a chance of promotion into Honour Division A by playing the second from bottom team in that division, Cajasol Ciencas. Try scorers for La Vila were Carrion and Fernandez. Next Sundays match is sure to be a thriller played in a carnival atmosphere in the 1300 all seater stadium at VilaJoyosa. A season finale not to be missed.
