MARINA ALTA FOOTBALL ROUND-UP | 8/9 March 2025

Lliga À Punt Comunitat – Grup Sud

Registering their ninth consecutive game without defeat, Novelda UD CF took over at the top of the table for the first time this season after a goalless draw at home to fellow promotion hopefuls CFI Alicante was enough to leapfrog over UD Benigànim, who suffered a shock defeat away at bottom club CD Eldense “B”, their first defeat in five games.

UD Tavernes slipped out of the top three after a 2-1 defeat at CD Thader, the side from Rojales claiming their first win in five games whilst Hércules CF “B” maintained touch with the top three after a 3-0 home win over CD Dénia. SC Torrevieja move up to 6th spot after defeating Olímpic de Xàtiva 3-0 at home, their first win in five games.

At the other end of the table, Paterna CF drew 0-0 at fellow strugglers CF Gandía but drop to bottom spot after the surprise victory of CD Eldense “B”. UD Carcaixent’s 3-0 win at home to FB Redován CF means that they now have a five-point gap between themselves and the drop zone. CD Dénia are one point above after their defeat in Alicante.

Primera FFCV – Grupo 4

CD Jávea opened up a five-point lead at the top of the table after a 3-2 win at Catral-Castram CF, their ninth win in ten games. The rojiblancos came back twice through Lucas Destefano and Ofi to draw 2-2 at half-time before Joan hit home the winner on 57 minutes. Rivals Mutxamel CF lost at home to CD Almoradí and have won just once in the last six games but remain in second spot after Santa Pola’s 0-0 draw at Villajoyosa due to have a better head-to-head record.

CD Almoradí climb to fourth spot and are just one point off second place whilst CD Murada crushed bottom club CF Intercity “B” 1-5 to claim their third win in a row and move into fifth spot. CD Montesinos recovered from their disappointing late defeat at Jávea last weekend to beat relegation-threatened Sporting de San Fulgencio 1-0 at home.

At the bottom, Villena CF slip back into the bottom three after their 2-1 away defeat at Benferri CF, a ‘six-pointer’ which saw the latter lift themselves out of the relegation zone with their first win in seven games. CF Intercity “B” remain bottom for the seventh successive round and are now six points adrift of safety.

Segona FFCV – Grupo 6

CF Teulada-Moraira open up a two-point lead at the top of the table after a 2-1 away win at CF Miramar, their fifth successive win and they have now gone 12 games without defeat. They take over top spot from CF Simat who drew 0-0 at home to UD Benifairó whilst Gorgos CF remain in third spot after a 3-1 away win at CF Bellreguard, their 12th game in a row without defeat.

Daimús CF are just one point behind after a comprehensive 4-0 home win over CF Orba whilst UD Benifairó remain in fifth spot, four points ahead of CF Orba in sixth spot.

At the bottom, CD Dénia “B” picked up their first away win of the season at Real de Gandía CF and their first victory since the beginning of last November but remain 12 points adrift of safety. Almussafes CF drop to 15th spot after a 0-2 home defeat to UD Alginet who are enjoying a resurgence after 14 defeats in their first 17 games and have now gone four games unbeaten to lift themselves to within a point of safety.

Tercera FFCV – Grupo 12

CF Benitachell recorded their 24th sucessive game without defeat to maintain a nine-point lead at the top of the table after a 3-0 home win over Atlético Callosa, former Jávea players Alvaro Tiscar and Rubén Ortolá amongst the goals. CEF El Verger maintain second spot after a 2-1 away win at UD Benissa ‘B’ whilst CF UD Calpe ‘B’ climb into third spot thanks to a 2-1 home win over CD UE Finestrat.
