Premier League Round 3: Derby game ends with Al-Ahli's defeat of Samaheej

What a coincidence that all visitors won their games. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most exciting game was a derby match between two local teams from Manama: Al-Ahli (#1) and Samaheej (#7). Samaheej was crushed at home by 56 points 75-131 and even the advantage of their own court did not help. Al-Ahli is looking forward to face Sitra (#11) at home in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Samaheej will play against Al-Manama (#3) in Manama and is hoping to prove to their supporters that the loss was just an accident.
Worth to mention about the upset in a game between Al-Ittihad (1-2) and Nuwaidrat (1-1), which took place in Manama. Al-Ittihad lost at home to Nuwaidrat 70-77. Nuwaidrat's supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Manama to the arena Al-Najma.

There were no big surprises in other games of round 3: Al-Hala beat Bahrain Club on the road 77-60. Winless Sitra lost to undefeated Al-Muharraq on its own court 68-116. Al-Najma managed to outperform Issa Town in Manama 119-108.

Rather predictable result when Al-Najma (2-1) won against on the road Issa Town (0-2) 119-108. Al-Najma's supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will face at home their local rival from Manama Nuwaidrat.
