Steady finish to preseason

Real Sociedad wrapped up their preseason this afternoon with a strong showing at Bournemouth’s Vitality Stadium, holding the Premier League side to a 0–0 draw. The encounter offered a taste of the kind of opposition the San Sebastián outfit are likely to face next Saturday in Valencia, when they begin their LaLiga campaign.

With the warm-up games now behind them, there will be no more experiments or trial runs. The txuri-urdin head into the new season with confidence and positive momentum, ready to kick off what promises to be an exciting year.
