Regions Cup: last match of the Eastern Region: a tight Vilnius derby between Vilnius Rugby Academy and RK „Geležinis vilkas“

On 19 June, Vilnius hosted the last match of the Eastern Region, where two teams from the capital city - Vilnius Rugby Academy and RK Geležinis vilkas - met. Although the rain did not spare the players or the spectators, the pitch was full of emotions, fighting spirit and rugby spirit.

The start of the match was intense - from the very first minutes there was a hard fight, physical rugby and strong defence. Neither team wanted to concede: the scoring was even and the pace of play remained high throughout the match.

The turning point of the match came at the very end, when Geležinis vilkas managed to take advantage of several important situations and went ahead. The final score was 12:19 in favour of the opponents.

Although the outcome of the match was not in our favour, it was a good opportunity to assess where we are and what we still need. It showed that we still have a lot to do in the pre-season, both in terms of playing and psychological aspects.

We thank our opponents for their fight. This derby is a useful experience from which to learn. We have a lot of work to do, but we continue to prepare and look ahead to the season ahead.
