Jaén Rugby has achieved its third consecutive victory by defeating Alcobendas RU "B" 34-18 at Las Lagunillas, a result that places them in the first position of their group in the División de Honor B relegation playoff phase.

The team from Jaén demonstrated its strength in a match played under intense heat, especially during a dominant first half. Despite adversities and injuries affecting several players, the team managed to maintain their lead and control the pace of the game, securing four crucial points on Member's Day.
From the outset, Jaén Rugby exerted suffocating pressure on their opponent, even recovering their own kickoff. This strategy quickly paid off, with the first try coming within three minutes of play. The offense continued, and shortly after, a second try extended their lead, demonstrating the team's ability to build effective plays and penetrate the opposing defense.
Throughout the match, Jaén Rugby had to contend with key players leaving due to injuries and respiratory problems, which tested the depth of their squad. However, the introduction of new players maintained the intensity and allowed the team to continue scoring points, including a converted penalty kick that provided some breathing room before halftime.
The second half maintained the excitement, with the Jaén team defending solidly and capitalizing on scoring opportunities. A quick penalty kick in the 66th minute caught the opposing defense off guard, culminating in another try that solidified the victory. Despite a dramatic end with an injury and numerical disadvantage, Jaén Rugby managed to close the score at 34-18, consolidating their top position. The team will now enjoy two weekends without competition, a period that will be key for player recovery.
