Cuba saw off Regatas Bella Vista 19:10 in the Top-12 on Friday evening. The home side held firm against visitors who had won three of their last four outings.
To be fair, Regatas had looked comfortable in those victories, but this was a different kind of challenge. By then, the hosts were looking for something to shift their recent form.
Cuba had been unpredictable of late — a heavy defeat to Alumni, losses to Newman and Hindu — yet they found enough to close out the result. The margin was narrow, but the points stayed within reach.
Regatas, meanwhile, ended a run of two consecutive defeats. They had not won since their 50:17 triumph over Atletico del Rosario, and this result stretched that streak back.
The scoreline tells you little about the flow, but the standings will reflect the shift. A win like this keeps the hosts in contention when every point counts.
