Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most interesting game was a derby match between two local teams from Manama: Al-Ahli (#4) and Nuwaidrat (#5). Nuwaidrat was defeated at home 70-78 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help. Al-Ahli (4-3) moved-up to third place. Nuwaidrat lost fifth consecutive game. They keep the fifth position with six games lost. They share it with Al-Hala. Al-Ahli are looking forward to face league's second-placed Al-Manama in Manama in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week.
