The Promocion qualifying rounds finished this past week, one week in advance of those of the top tier competition. OLAZABAL – LARRINAGA top the table thanks to a late surge and a dip in the hitherto excellent form of JAUNARENA – CECILIO who end in second. URRUTIKOETXEA – IZA have secured their place in third, despite only playing ten games as a result of simultaneous injury. The final pair to squeeze into the top for were RICO IV – UNTORIA, who came from behind thanks to the demise of Gorka and Arruti. For this week’s results see here. The final table is as follows:
