The Wels basketball high continues

Upper Austria’s top basketball clubs are hot on the heels of leaders Klosterneuburg Dukes in the Superliga placement round. The Raiffeisen Flyers Wels once again lived up to their reputation as the team of the hour and defeated the Lower Austrians 80:69 (49:37) in front of 650 enthusiastic visitors. The reigning cup winner celebrated its fourth victory in a row.

Much to the delight of Christian von Fintel, who was his team’s top scorer with 21 points. “We did a really good job as a collective,” said the captain. Chris Ferguson also put in a strong performance, recording twelve rebounds.

In third place, the Messestadters are only two points behind the place in the sun and are level on points with their local rivals OCS Swans Gmunden, who are in second place, who won 86:76 (36:44) in St. Pölten after starting difficulties. Toni Blazan contributed 20 points.

Things continue on Sunday (5.30 p.m.): The basket hunters from Traunsee welcome fourth-placed Graz with a desire for revenge, the Flyers will be playing against the fifth-placed Traiskirchen Lions in the new edition of the cup final.
