Andorra VPC Rugby Teams Secure Key League Wins

Andorra's VPC rugby teams claimed vital wins in their Spanish leagues over the weekend, with the men delivering a dominant 40-20 away victory over RC Sitges in División de Honor B and the women edging Algontec Saragossa—also known as Fenix Zaragoza—27-18 at Estadi Nacional in the Nacional league.

The men's team, coached by Dani Raya, controlled the match from the first quarter, imposing their physicality and ball continuity. Gaston Ezequiel González opened the scoring with early tries, building a 19-13 halftime lead despite some discrepancies in reported halftime margins. In the second half, the Andorrans intensified their pressure: Ignacio Traversa added crucial scores—described in one account as two tries—while Kgoposto Mpho-Entie Matlena, Josep Arasanz Ávila, and Erik Fraissinet Barrenechea also crossed the line. A player named Calvet reportedly notched three tries before the break in one report, highlighting the team's offensive depth. RC Sitges fought back with tries of their own but couldn't close the gap. The result solidified VPC's second-place standing, trailing leaders CAU Rugby València, who routed RC L'Hospitalet 69-15.

Pre-match previews had framed the Sitges clash as a key test for VPC to challenge for the top spot against the penultimate-ranked side.

In the women's Nacional league match, Jordi Fidalgo's squad snapped a three-match losing streak with a hard-fought home win, sealed by a decisive push in the final minutes. The victory provides momentum as both teams enter the season's decisive stretch, with the men hosting Palma Rugby next to close the first phase.
