The Splash Ballers achieved their objective last night against Makedones-Dimco, which was none other than the victory, winning 68-36 and mathematically sealing their qualification for the Silver Category.
Andreas Michael’s team made their competitive superiority evident from very early on, taking a large lead of +25 (37-12) by the end of the first half, turning the second half into a mere formality. In the second half, given that everything had already been decided, both teams played at a more relaxed pace, with the final 68-36 score giving the hosts the win and qualification.
Andreas Iakovou had a great game, adding 34 points to his credit (including 7 three-pointers!), followed by the two Michaels (Stylianou and Ioannides) with 11 points each. From the visiting team, Stavros Grigoriou stood out with 13 points, supported mainly by Chrysanthou and Tsompanides with 6 points each.
Splash Ballers finished definitively in 7th place in the standings of the “Morfou” Region and will compete in the Silver Category (alongside EAK, UNIC Senior Eagles, and Old Bulldogs), starting their effort with 1 point. They will await tonight’s results to see which other four teams from the “Keryneia” Region they will face.
For Makedones, last night’s game was their 8th defeat of the season, which will likely lead them to 10th place in the standings and consequently to the Bronze Category (together with Nicosia Municipality and Old Timers), where they will also start their effort with 1 point.
