AKE Antzuola secured a 3-0 victory over bottom-placed Urki at the Ipintza field, firmly holding onto the fourth promotion spot to Preferente with only two league matches left.

The first regional team did not falter, just like the other contenders for promotion to Preferente, and the top four teams in improvement positions maintain their standings. Antzuola comfortably defeated Urki, the last-placed team, with a 3-0 score at Bergarako Ipintza field.
The goals were scored by Imanol Gabilondo Lopez in the 17th minute, Oier Aramburu Balestena in the 60th, and Xabier Larrea Izaguirre sealed the score in the 91st minute. These three points, with two matchdays remaining, keep AKE in fourth place, very close to Soraluze, Ikasberri, and Trintxerpe, who are ahead of them, and they feel the pressure from Arrupe Chaminade, who are just two points behind.
Next matchday, they will visit Beasain, who are in the lower part of the table, and they will conclude the league championship on May 24 at home against Hernani, who are in sixth position and six points away from the reward spots. However, if this club's Honor Division team were to be relegated, they would not be able to be promoted due to being an affiliate.
