The good start of Pasek Belenos in its second season in the Honor Division of Spanish rugby was stopped short in the field of El Salvador in Valladolid, where the team from Aviles had no chance of getting a good result at practically any time.
And the players trained by Freddie Roberti started well, putting pressure on a Castilian team in the rival field that came out with the handbrake on. Belenos’ dominance lasted only five minutes, as they had possessions but failed to break the local defensive lines.
The tone of the match changed in the 13th minute, when El Salvador’s first try occurred, and they seemed to have picked up speed. After a few minutes of a certain equality, the Pucelanos began to put together good offensive plays that frayed the defense of the blue and white team, who wore yellow yesterday. In one of them, Du Toit, center of the black and white three-quarter line, slipped into the Asturian defense to make it 12-0.
Belenos was then able to come out on top, playing the best minutes, doing its test and could have obtained a bigger loot. A good advance by Silvestre was continued by Narvaja, who was about to rehearse. The following scrums led to the test, this time, of Dorigón, heeled to the right of the Aviles attack.
However, Aviles’s hope died before the break was reached. The penalty blows penalized Belenos, granting repeated advantages to the Pucelano attack until Barrios tried again, with an impeccable transformation by Ortega to make it 19-5. That wasn’t all. Before retreating to the locker room, the Valladolid defense intercepted an attack by Roberti’s team and the lethal counterattack ended up becoming 26-5.
With the match practically resolved, the second part was for the benefit of inventory. The game was even, although it almost always took place on plots far from the 22 zones. Belenos, in theory the team forced to put the meat on the grill, was prey to inaccuracies, unable to put pressure on the local ranks. El Salvador, meanwhile, temporized, although with ten minutes remaining an advance by Ortega found continuation and Borrego and Du Plooy posed side by side on the oval in the Avilesian goal zone.
End for the Belenos expedition, which next weekend welcomes Santboiana.
