Premier League Round 10 (Regular Season): Derby game ends with Nuwaidrat's defeat of Bahrain Club

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most interesting game was a derby match between two local teams from Manama: Nuwaidrat (#1) and Bahrain Club (#5). Nuwaidrat (8-0) smashed visiting Bahrain Club (2-6) by 47 points 99-52. Undefeated Nuwaidrat have an impressive eight-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 8-0 record. Bahrain Club at the other side keeps the fifth place with six games lost. Nuwaidrat's supporters look forward to another derby game next round, where their team will face at home their local rival from Manama Samaheej.
Another interesting game was again a derby between two teams from Manama: Al-Ahli (#4) and Al-Ittihad (#6). Al-Ittihad was smashed at home by 19 points 57-76 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help. Al-Ahli (4-4) moved-up to second place, which they share with Al-Najma and Samaheej. Al-Ittihad at the other side still closes the standings with ten games lost. Al-Ahli will play against Al-Hala (#5) in Muharraq in the next round. Al-Ittihad will play on the road against the league's second-placed Al-Muharraq in Al Muharraq and hopes to get finally their first victory.
An interesting game for Samaheej (4-4) which hosted in Manama one of their biggest challengers Sitra (3-5). Second ranked Samaheej managed to get a 6-point victory 82-76. Samaheej maintains second position with 4-4 record having five points less than leader Nuwaidrat, which they share with Al-Ahli and Al-Najma. Loser Sitra keeps the third place with five games lost. They share the position with Issa Town. Samaheej's supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Manama to the arena Nuwaidrat.

In the last two games of round 10 Al-Najma was beaten by Al-Manama on the road 91-87. Al-Hala was destroyed by Al-Muharraq on its own court 101-121.
