Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

Third-ranked Al-Ahli (5-5) was very close to win a game against second ranked Al-Muharraq (10-2) in Al Muharraq on Saturday. Al-Muharraq managed to secure only three-point victory 70-67. However their fans expected easier game. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Al-Ahli. Al-Muharraq have an impressive six-game winning streak. They maintain second position with 10-2 record having just one point less than leader Nuwaidrat. Al-Ahli at the other side keeps the third place with five games lost. They share the position with Issa Town. Al-Muharraq are looking forward to face Al-Najma (#4) in Manama in the next round. Al-Ahli's supporters also look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will face at home their local rival from Manama Al-Ittihad.
An interesting game for Nuwaidrat (9-1) which played road game in Sitra against 4th ranked Sitra (3-7). First ranked Nuwaidrat managed to get a 12-point victory 100-88.

Al-Manama have a solid three-game winning streak. Defending champion maintains first position with 10-1 record. Loser Al-Ittihad still closes the standings with 12 games lost.
