Goixerri and Portet have won in three games to Urrutia and Del Rio, who still have qualifying options
Mutriku's forward and Occitania's defense have won 10-15, 15-11 and 4-5 for the couple of Donibane-Garazi's forward and Vitoria's backward.
Ekaitz Mendizabal Goixerri- K and Jerome Portet, who represented the injured Manci, beat Thomas Urrutia and Julen del Rio in three games (10-15, 15-11 and 4-5) on the ninth day of the Eusko Label Winter Series in Gernika, so Goixerri and Portet have only won one victory in the tournament, but they have no chance of qualifying.
Urrutia and Del Rio have not got off to a good start. Thomas has made several mistakes in the attempts on both walls and Julen has not sent anything with his powerful right. Goixer, however, has started the game hard, without making mistakes and very fine in the score, with eleven.
In the second game the dynamics have changed, the right of Del Rio has started to warm up and Urrutia has been better than in the first game. However, the brown couple has had to face a setback, since the ball they were using to go back to the game has in principle been chained and, after getting rid of it, they have found that it was broken.
In the third and final game of the draw, the Mutrikuarra striker and the Occitan defense have taken the game (4-5). In addition, Goixerriand Portet have managed to go back, as things were difficult with the initial 3-1.
