Premier League Round 12 (Regular Season): Derby game ends with Samaheej'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: Samaheej (#3) and Bahrain Club (#4). Bahrain Club was smashed at home by 29 points 71-100 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help. Samaheej (6-4) moved-up to second place. Bahrain Club lost sixth consecutive game. They dropped to the fifth position with nine games lost. Samaheej are looking forward to face Issa Town (#4) on the road in the next round. Bahrain Club's supporters also look forward to another derby game next round, where their team will face at home their local rival from Manama Al-Ittihad.
Another interesting game was again a derby between two teams from Manama: Al-Ahli (#4) and Nuwaidrat (#6). Al-Ahli (6-6) won against visiting Nuwaidrat (1-11) 79-74. Al-Ahli maintains fourth position with 6-6 record. Nuwaidrat lost tenth consecutive game. They keep the sixth place with 11 games lost. Al-Ahli will play against league's second-placed Al-Manama in Manama in the next round and it may be the game of the week. Nuwaidrat will play at home against Al-Hala (#5) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
An interesting game for Al-Ittihad (10-0) which hosted in Manama second-best Sitra (6-5). Top-ranked Al-Ittihad managed to get a 4-point victory 90-86. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Sitra. Undefeated Al-Ittihad have an impressive ten-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 10-0 record. Sitra at the other side dropped to the third place with five games lost. Al-Ittihad's supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Manama to the arena Bahrain Club.

In the last two games of round 12 Al-Muharraq beat Al-Hala on the road 93-80. Al-Najma won against Al-Manama on its own court 86-71.
