Euskaraz irakurri: Urrutia-Del Rio eta Erika-Frida, Iron Cup txapelketako finalera

The couple formed by Julen Del Rio and Thomas Urrutia has achieved the ticket for the final of the master Bilbao Jai Alai Iron Cup after beating Laduche and Manci in the second semifinal that was played at the Deportivo de Bilbao fronton. In the women’s semi-final, they won Erika and Frida.

Urrutia-Del Rio vs Laduche-Manci: 15-14, 15-11

The first set of the semifinal has been played. Laduche and Manci started ahead, with a two-wall from the mutrikuarra, and the yellow pair took the lead on the scoreboard (1-3, 2-5, and 6-9). But by the halfway point of the first set, as the material has quickened, Del Río has begun to respond very well with the right. Theirs was the 9-10 goal, and the 11-12 goal was spectacular. “Pipped” from top to bottom, he caused the bounce and went over his rivals. With 12-14, they have had three set balls. Finally, Julen Del Río served his forehand again to turn the score around and win the first set (15-14).

The start of the second game was spectacular. Once again, Julen has done what he wanted with the right. They went ahead 8-1, but the brown pair’s sixth goal was worth highlighting, when the Alavés scored a spectacular two-waller from the back boxes. It seemed like the game was going to end like this but the yellows were able to score, start changing the ball and play rallies, and even score goals. 8-2, 10-4, 12-6, 13-10…they have gotten closer to three points. The match was finished by Donibane Garazi’s striker, Thomas Urrutiawith a two walls (15-11).

Erika-Frida vs Maite-Arai: 15-14, 15-4

In the Women’s Master, the victory has gone to Erika Mugartegi and Frida Watkins. They won the first set with a close result but in the second they were much superior to Maite and Arai. In the first game, the match was very close (8-5, 10-10, 12-12, 13-13), but after the tie at fourteen, Erika did not forgive and took the set (15-14)

In the second set, the yellow team fell apart. Maite and Arai have managed to score four goals, in the face of the indisputable superiority of Erika and Frida (15-4).
